Fundraiser Ideas for High School Bowling Leagues

**twocents** · 06-01-2008, 07:14 AM

Does anyone have any good fundraiser ideas for high school bowling leagues?

I find that bowling is one of the school clubs that doesn't always get the funding they need to play, so a lot of fundraising is a necessity. In the past our local high school has done candy and t-shirt sales, but I would like to see them do a bowling night at the local alley and invite the entire community.

If you know of some high school bowling leagues that need help, let me know to see what we can do.

One thing our teams do is hold a raffle. The kids and parents collect merchandise and or gift certificates from the local businesses in our community and sell raffle tickets to the public, family & friends to help raise money.

I have found that the best place to sell these tickets is at the mens leagues just after they have had a couple (if you know what I mean) The very best night to sell them is on sweeper night!!

We then have a raffle at our bowling alley where we hold a tournament for the community which some of the money raised there also goes to our youths. We sell hot dogs, chips and pop during our event (also donated)

This is a really great way to spend time with your child.

The most important thing is to go back and give thanks to those businesses that donated to your event. This way they will be more likely to do it again...

~~Best of luck~~

2 things that we have done out here would be have some of the bowlers go into a league and run a 50 / 50 ...of course in a league that dose not do one would be good

Also you can get a ball donated from a Pro shop and sell raffle tickets to win the ball

I think that is a great idea. Maybe some pro shops will take notice of this and do the same in their areas.

Yeah most Pro Shops will be willing to part with a white dot and sometimes a higher price ball too

50/50 tickets are great to your adult leagues. A balling ball raffle also works well. A lot of restrurants will do a guest server night, where the team serves and gets to keep the tips. Also you may try holding a tournament for high school teams. You an make a profit, and get more experiane for your team.

Great ideas.

I wonder how hard it would be to promote a High School Tournament?
