Help "Strike Out" Pet Homelessness

Join us! The Bowl-a-Rama is a fun-filled, family-oriented bowling fundraiser that benefits the homeless animals of Harford County.

The Bowl-a-Rama is a fun-filled, family-oriented bowling fundraiser for adults and kids alike that benefits the homeless animals of Harford County. Whether by yourself, a duo, a trio, or a team of up to six bowlers per lane, bowl to help the animals on Saturday, February 20, 2016 from 3:00-6:30 p.m. at Forest Hill Lanes, One Maurice Drive, Forest Hill, MD.

PRE-REGISTER

Each bowler should pre-register by February 17 for $20 (or call 410-836-1090, x106 to pay over the phone). This fee helps us cover your lane and shoe rental.

COLLECT DONATIONS FOR THE ANIMALS

The best way you can help the animals is to ask for donations. Ask your friends, family, co-workers, neighbors, etc. to make a tax-deductible donation to support you. We accept cash and checks payable to HSHC. Everyone is asked to raise at least $50. Simply ask 5 people for $10 and once that goal is met, keep it going! Print a pledge sheet to keep track of your donations or create your own event page and fundraise online. Most people do both!

RAFFLE

We will have a variety of raffle baskets, stuffed to overflowing with all kinds of themed goodies. When you check-in at the front table on the day of Bowl-a-Rama, bring your pledge sheet and any cash or checks you collected (we’ll have a record of any online donations you collect). For every $50 you raise, you will receive 2 free raffle tickets for a chance to win one of these great baskets. Raffle tickets will also be available for purchase at the event for $3 each, two for $5 or an arm’s length for $10.

SPONSOR

Your business can sponsor this event! There are 3 levels of sponsorships that provide recognition in a variety of ways. Contact Erin at 410-836-1090, x106 to discuss your options.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS

  • You’ll want to get started fundraising NOW because the first person or team to raise $1,000 before the Bowl-a-Rama wins a pizza party at your school, home or office (limit 10 pizzas). Contact us when you reach this goal.
  • Show your team spirit and coordinate a unified team look! We’re awarding an awesome prize to the team with the most unique costume at the Bowl-a-Rama.
  • Each lane may have a maximum of 6 bowlers, so if you have less players, you may be paired with other bowlers. If you wish to compete against another team, please call 410-836-1090, x106 so we can assign lanes accordingly.
  • Donations are 100% tax-deductible and checks may be made out to HSHC.
