Welcome COORDINATORS

Achieve-A-Bowl is a way for you to have fun with your co-workers, friends, family, or student groups while raising funds to bring Junior Achievement programs to more Rhode Island classrooms.

Every year, over 400 bowlers from organizations throughout Rhode Island participate in our Annual Achieve-A-Bowl! We offer a variety of times and days to suit your team's needs.

A BRIEF overview

Our annual fundraiser begins in January.

  • Teams have an eight to ten-week period to recruit their bowlers and raise donations.

  • The coordinators will get their team together to decide which time is most convenient for the team to celebrate all their efforts with a bowling party.

  • The highest fundraisers will receive the biggest prizes, which will be delivered to their door approximately four weeks after the event.

 
 

How it works

  1. Coordinators will receive a confirmation of their bowling date and time within two business days of registration. Please look out for the Coordinator Packet and save this Bowler Registration Spreadsheet.

  2. Recruit your five-person bowling teams, be sure they are aware this is a fundraiser. Then send them to the Bowler page of this website which will give them all the tools needed to reach their networks.

  3. There is a $15 registration fee per bowler ($75/team). The fee covers the cost of two hours of bowling, shoe rental, and an official event t-shirt. This is a link on the bowler page to pay online.

  4. To participate, bowlers are asked to raise a minimum of $100 in donations ($500/team) but individuals who raise more are eligible for larger prizes!

    • If your team is unable to fundraise, consider covering the fundraising minimum.

    • Please note: sponsorship is separate from bowler fundraising efforts.

  5. Children under 18 are allowed to bowl with parent/guardian approval. However, this event takes place in a bowling alley, and alcohol will be present.

    Please note that:

    • JA policy prohibits children from fundraising. If a child under 18 bowls on a team of adults, the registration fee is still $15 but the team is still asked to raise $500 as a whole.

    • If you wish to put together a full lane of up to six children, no fundraising is expected from the lane, however, the registration fee is $20 per child bowler to cover costs.
