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.

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 Team

    1. 5 people per team

    2. Make teammates aware that this is a fundraiser.

    3. Send your teammates to our Bowlers page, which will give them all the tools they need!

  3. Fees & Fundraising

    1. $15 registration fee per bowler ($75/team), this includes:

      1. Two hours of bowling

      2. Shoe rental

      3. Official event t-shirt

  4. Bowlers will use Qgiv as their 1-stop-shop to sign-up & pay their $15 fee, and fundraise $100!

  5. To participate, bowlers are asked to raise a minimum of $100 in donations ($500/team), but more fundraising means more prizes!

    • If your team is having a hard time fundraising, consider covering their $100 minimum or matching the donations that they bring in. (see more tips here)

    • Sponsorship is separate from bowler fundraising efforts.

  6. Children under 18 can attend and participate with parent/guardian approval.

    Please note that:

    • This event takes place in a bowling alley, and alcohol will be present.

    • JA policy prohibits children from fundraising.

    • If a child under 18 bowls on a team of adults:

      • $15 registration fee is still required

      • The adult teammates are asked to raise $500 as a whole.

    • For full teams of Bowlers ages 17 and under:

      • no fundraising is expected or required

        • $20 per child bowler to cover costs.
