The 2018 Bowl for Hope fundraising event
is going to be better than last year. The Bowl-A-Thon will be hosted at Pin Chasers Bowling Center on April 21, 2018 from 11:00 pm – 1:00 pm on 4847 N Armenia Ave., Tampa, Fl. 33603. Each bowler is expected to solicit sponsors for their two games of bowling with goal of raising $20,000 from the event. Each bowler will receive complimentary food and drinks and an opportunity to win a wide variety of raffle prizes throughout the 2 hour event.
Lane sponsorships for $250.00 per lane will also be available to community partners businesses. No gift will be too small and it will make a difference in someone’s life. The sponsorships funds that would be raised through bowling would be raised as follows.
Assuming that the sponsors commit to a one time donation of $25.00 and each bowler gets 10 sponsors willing to support them with a one-time $25.00 donation, the sponsors would pay UCM a donation of $250.00 towards that bowler and if that team had five (5) bowlers that did the same thing, the team would have raised $1,250.00 for UCM. The Pin Chasers Bowling Center has made eight (7) lanes available for the fundraising event. If all eight (7) bowling teams did the same thing “The Bowl for Hope” teams would have achieved $8,750. and if we can get five community business partners to sponsor a bowling lane for $250.00 each that would be $1,250. We would have achieved our fund raising goal of $10,000.00 that will be used to support UCM Program services and for remodeling the House of Hope to serve our homeless neighbors.
Please support this fun and worthwhile event and remember all proceeds benefit the program and services of University Community Ministries, Inc. We are expecting the Bowl for Hope to be a great team effort. If you are interested in helping us reach our Bowl For Hope Fundraising goal, you can donate on our donation page at
