How many people are on a Team?
A team consists of 5 members - you plus 4 friends!

Is there a minimum amount I need to raise (or my Team)?
There is no minimum amount necessary to participate. We request that each team member set a goal of raising $100. This is as easy as asking 10 friends for $10 to raise a total of $100 per person or a total of $500 per team of five members.

What is College Bowl?
College Bowl is an opportunity for college students to form teams and compete against other colleges for a traveling trophy based on the amount your team raises. In Allen County we specific sessions set aside for our college students but you can bowl wherever is most convenient and still participate in the competition.

Will my money be used to serve children in my county?
YES! Bowl for Kids’ Sake is our largest fundraiser of the year and takes place in all thirteen of our counties. Sponsorships and funds raised by teams stay in the county of origin and allow us to serve children in a one-to-one mentoring relationship.
