Here's exactly how it works
We give you a rate
A discounted rate per lane that covers bowling, shoe rental and possibly food.
You set the price
Charge whatever per participant — or per lane — that hits your fundraising goal. Assign 5 to 6 participants per lane.
You keep the difference
Subtract our lane fees from your total participant fees. What's left is yours.
Fundraiser lane pricing
These prices apply on select days and times. That is what you pay us — you can then charge however much you would like per lane or per bowler. Food and beverage options are also available. No outside beverages are permitted. No upfront costs; for larger events during prime time a deposit may be required.
Everything a fundraiser usually isn't
What you don't have to do
- No campaigning door to door
- No order forms to collect
- No perishable goods
- No delivery responsibilities
- No weather factor — unlike a walk-a-thon or car wash
- No clean-up at the end of the night
Why it works
- Works for groups of any size
- Appeals to all ages and skill levels
- Encourages real community participation
- Social atmosphere keeps people engaged the whole time
- You need almost no money to start — a genuine advantage for groups with no operating budget
- It is a service, not a product, so there is no leftover inventory
We have worked with school sports teams, music programmes and nonprofit organisations to build events that bring the community together and generate real results. Whether you are raising money for new uniforms, equipment, a mission trip or a local cause, we will help you plan something people look forward to every year. Bowling and many youth sports use fundraisers exactly this way — to keep registration costs down and buy proper equipment.
Fundraiser FAQ
How does a bowling fundraiser work?
We charge your group a discounted rate per lane that includes bowling, shoe rental and possibly food. You then set the price per participant based on your fundraising goal, assign five to six participants per lane, subtract our lane fees from your total participant fees, and your organisation keeps the difference.
What does a fundraiser lane cost?
Only $50 per lane for 2 hours of bowling and shoe rental for you and your guests. Add 1 pizza and 1 pitcher of soda to each lane for $70 per lane total. Add a third hour for just $15 more per lane. These prices apply on select days and times.
Are there upfront costs?
No upfront costs. For larger events during prime time a deposit may be required.
Who runs bowling fundraisers here?
Local schools, churches, charities, sports teams, music programmes and community nonprofits — we have been helping South Jersey groups run these for years.
Can we bring our own food or drinks?
Food and beverage options are available through us. No outside beverages are permitted.
Why is bowling better than other fundraisers?
No door-to-door campaigning, no order forms to collect, no perishable goods, no delivery responsibilities, no weather factor and no clean-up at the end. Because it is a service rather than a product, there is no leftover inventory when the event is over.
Every fundraiser has different elements and options that can be customised for your group, and different formats need very different volunteer counts and timelines. It is always best to talk to us while you are planning so we can point you at the programme that fits your organisation. We're with you every step of the way.
