9 THE 31ST ANNUAL Presented by AUTOMOTIVE Top Bowl for Kids Sake participants share with us their best tips for raising money. Remember, the individual goal is $250 and the team goal is $1000, but many teams raise much more than that. FUNDRAISING TIPS Remember the cause. Big Brothers Big Sisters matches children facing adversity with caring, adult mentors. Kids who have Bigs are more likely to graduate high school and college, less likely to use drugs and alcohol, and have higher self esteem than their peers. Build a personalized webpage. Building a fundraising webpage is easy and fun. Participants who use their webpage to raise funds typically raise more money because it s easy to pay with a credit card online. Sponsors can pay by check, credit card, cash or we can send them a pledge statement after the event. Get started at and emurray@bigbro.com if you need help with your site. Use Facebook, Twitter, and . Use tweets and status updates to communicate that you are looking for donations to help Big Brothers Big Sisters. your contacts at work. In fact, the average Bowl for Kids Sake donation made via an request is over $20. Post a link straight to your personal fundraising webpage. Thank your donors, post information about your fundraising goal, and talk about the cause. Ask about company matches. Many companies will match an employee s contributions to a charity. Ask your HR Director or Office Manager if your company participates in a Company Match program. If so, your donation will go even farther. Usually it s a simple form that you fill out and bring with your pledge sheet the day you bowl. Shoot for $25 donations or higher. The quickest and easiest way to meet the $250 goal is to ask 10 people to sponsor you for $25 each. Make your personal pledge the first one listed on your sheet. Tell your personal story. Tell your sponsors the reason why you support Big Brothers Big Sisters. Let them know about the amazing outcomes and personal experiences you may have had with BBBSO. Plan an event or hold a fundraiser. A lot of teams have success by hosting fundraisers for friends, family or at their work place. Some examples of successful past fundraisers include: happy hours, trivia nights, garage sales, backyard BBQ where you bring donations instead of a side dish, selling breakfast burritos or ice cream sundaes at work, corporate challenges where the boss of the organization takes the winning team to lunch, participants doing crazy antics such as shaving a mohawk or getting dunked in a dunk tank if they reach their goal. Be creative, use your contacts, and raise money however you can! Try asking face to face. Bowlers have a lot of luck by simply walking around their office or neighborhood and asking their contacts to support them with a donation. Most people are just waiting to be asked. Just think what you re willing to do if asked!
