Fundraising Tips

1. Use the online event tool. It's a quick, easy way to collect donations. Click "Register" and you will be guided through the registration process. Once your signup is complete, you will receive a confirmation email with a link to your personal fundraising webpage.
2. People who edit their website to talk about why they are raising money for Big Brothers Big Sisters raise a lot more money. It only takes a few minutes to add a picture and a few words.
3. People who make a gift when they first sign up also raise a lot more money - you can kickstart your own fundraising momentum!
4. Email friends or share your page on Facebook to ask people to support you. And don't forget about letters, phone calls, and even a bake sale. Get creative! Need more help? Call Kori at 269-382-6800, ext. 103! She'd be happy to brainstorm a few ideas with you!
5. Say THANK YOU! Thank your team members for their time and commitment to participate! Don’t forget to say thank you to the people who donated to you! Call or e-mail them after the event to let them know how much money your team raised and thank them for supporting local children!

YOUR FUNDRAISING MATCHED BY PNC BANK

Are you new to Bowl for Kids' Sake? Presenting sponsor, PNC Bank welcomes you with a special matching gift to double your impact.

If you haven't participated in Bowl for Kids' Sake before, every dollar you raise will be matched by a generous gift from PNC until we reach our goal of $2,500 from fundraisers new to Big Brothers Big Sisters. Your donors' gifts will be doubled!

For every $1 you raise, BBBS will get $2! When you raise $60, PNC will match it, turning your impact into $120 until new Bowl for Kids' Sake fundraisers have raised $2,500! Please note, the matching gift does not count towards Super Team status.

BBBS will track folks who are new to BFKS and their fundraising. We will make an announcement when the matching challenge has been met. Start your fundraising early to take advantage- these funds will go fast!
