Bowl For Jason's Friends Foundation is an annual event held in Casper, Wyoming that brings almost 1000 bowlers together to raise money for the foundation. This event is our primary fundraiser for the entire year, and our goal is to beat the $200,000 we raised last year while providing a fun day of bowling for our volunteer bowlers. Your participation will help us to serve families and kids who are fighting brain or spinal cord tumors and other childhood cancers.
HOW IT WORKS:
Teams of five bowlers collect pledges for Jason's Friends, and then meet to bowl for about an hour with other teams. Throughout the day, hourly drawings occur, with the biggest prizes going to the teams and individuals who collect the most pledge dollars. This year's event will be held Saturday, February 28, 2009 at El Mark-O Lanes in Casper. Free food and beverages will be provided for our bowlers, with huge prizes going to those with the most pledges. Any participant who collects at least $50 in pledges will be rewarded with a FREE t-shirt.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE:
Recruit a team of five bowlers, one of which is the team captain. Team captains will receive a team packet containing team captain instructions, a team information sheet, and five individual pledge packets.

After you team has reserved their spot at the event, each team member should begin collecting pledges from friends, neighbors, co-workers, and anyone else who would like to support Jason's Friends. Then, show up at El Mark-O Lanes on Saturday, February 28, 2009, with your collected pledges and bowl as many games as possible during your scheduled bowling time. There will be no charge for bowling or shoe rental for you or your team. Please collect all pledges prior to bowling. There will be no billing to collect pledges after the event.
