WHAT IS BOWL-A-THON 2009?
Bowl-A-Thon 2010 is a fundraising event. Each participant solicits pledges from sponsors who will make a donation based on the individual’s bowling score. It is also a FUN event with the participants being able to bowl and win prizes for their efforts.
HOW DO WE PARTICIPATE?
Bowl-A-Thon 2010 will take place anytime between February 1, 2010 and August 31, 2010. Your Unit should sign up for a specific Bowl-A-Thon date. Each Unit should contact the Bowling Center of their choice. Each participating Unit must have a total of pledges per bowler averaging $25 to qualify for FREE bowling in the Bowl-A-Thon. At the Bowl-A-Thon, each participant will bowl three games. Scores will be certified at the Bowl-A-Thon Bowling Center. Each participant should collect their pledges within ten days.
HOW AND WHEN DOES OUR UNIT GET ITS MONEY?
After the Unit bowls, bowlers collect pledges from their sponsors within ten days. After the pledges have been collected, you should remit the full value of your pledges to the Council. Your Unit commission check will be sent at month’s end to the person who you designate. You may have your commission monies placed on account at the Council Service Center or fully donated to special needs Scouting. Be sure to send a receipt from the Bowling Center if your unit qualifies for reimbursement.
