TEAM CAPTAIN’S GUIDE
Thank you for your interest in Bowl For Kids’ Sake 2015! Your participation will make a BIG
difference for children in our community, as this event raises at least 25% of the annual
operating budget for Big Brothers Big Sisters of CYDC. Our 2015 goal is to raise $40,000!
As a Team Captain, it will be your responsibility to:

Recruit four (4) additional people to bowl on your team.

Forward team member names to Big Brothers Big Sisters by March 16th.

Obtain pledge sheets from Big Brothers Big Sisters and provide them to your team members.
Pledge sheets will be available in early February. Participants may also set up a personal
fundraising page online (see the directions on the next page).
Your team will raise money for BBBS by obtaining pledges from friends, family, and coworkers. The goal is for each team member to raise $100, with a total team goal of $500.
You can also use corporate matching grants, where they are available, to double or triple
your contributions (check with your employer about matching grants).
Make lane reservations for your team by calling the BBBS office by March 16th at (843) 2665232 or logging on to www.BecomeABig.org. Your team will bowl 2 games at the reserved
