Bowl-a-Thon is a time to gather your community, raise funds, and strike down barriers to abortion access in Pennsylvania!

This year, we raised over $100,000 through Bowl-a-Thon. Stay tuned for more information about next year Bowl-a-Thon event!

How does it work?

Step 1: Gather your team!

Send an email to friends inviting them to join you in funding abortion access and bowling to end the stigma on May 31st! We recommend bowling teams include 4-6 members; when they’re larger than that, not everyone gets a chance to bowl!

Step 2: Give your team a name!

It can be silly, it can be serious, and it can even be simple, like the name of your collective or group participating together. Some of my favorites from Bowl-a-Thons past are the Back Alley Cats and the Ovarian Fysts!

Step 3: Set up your fundraising page!

Scroll down and click the “Start Fundraising” button on our Classy page, and choose “Create a team!” Personalize your page by adding your team name and sharing a personal message about why you’re fundraising for abortion access.

Step 4: Set a fundraising goal!

How much can your team raise together? It helps to have a goal that is specific and achievable, so consider how many members you have on your team and think about who you can ask to support!

BONUS! Step 5: Come up with a gimmick for your fundraising challenge!

Think of a skill you have, or something your friends have always asked you to do, and make it part of your goal! Do you like baking? Writing poetry? Maybe you can write poems or make baked goods for all your friends who support you!

Step 6: Start fundraising!

We’ll send out sample language and social media posts that you can use to fundraise among people in your community.
