At a successful charity event, attendees are engaged with each other and the cause. You’re more likely to receive generous donations when the people present are having fun and in good spirits. For this reason, a bowling alley can create both an exciting experience for your guests and return significant funds for your cause. If you’re planning a fundraiser, you may wonder where to begin. To help you create an effective event, here are some reasons to consider bowling alleys and how to plan the big day. 

Reasons to Use a Bowling Alley for Fundraisers

Bowling is a fun activity suited for all ages and skill levels. Donors can bring their friends or children, and everyone can have a good time. If any serious bowlers end up being in attendance, they can form their own groups and compete against each other in a more competitive match.

Bowling AlleySince teammates take turns playing, bowling also allows plenty of time for eating between turns or games. While they munch on a delicious slice of pizza, attendees can watch others play and continue to enjoy the activity. Games are also held indoors, ensuring your event is a success come rain or shine. The product of your hard work won’t have to be canceled or postponed, no matter the weather conditions. 

How to Plan Your Event

The first step to planning a bowling charity event is to pick your venue. Go with a location that offers food options so you don’t have to worry about catering. Once you’ve chosen a place, contact them to book a date. If it’s a small alley, consider reserving the whole arena so your guests can be comfortable in the space.

After you’ve secured your venue, find a few local personalities or influencers who can help spread the word or donate items for an auction. You can also contact your local media station or newspapers to publicize the event, or post advertisements on social media. If you have specific guests in mind, send them an invitation directly through mail or a phone call.
