Hello!!

I am a member of the Big Brothers Big Sisters club here at UW and wanted to see if you would be interested in becoming a team captain for our 1st Annual Bowl For Kid’s Sake at UW fundraising event on Thursday, April 10th at 6:00pm at the UW HUB Bowling alley. We are so excited about how BIG of an event this could be but we still need team captains! As a team captain we’d just want you to register and recruit 3-4 friends to bowl and seek donations to help support BBBS here in Puget Sound. We are hoping that each bowler can raise $50 in donations from friends and family. We think this is a reasonable amount to seek and hope that our volunteers will feel comfortable reaching out to the community to seek $5 and $10 donations to raise that $50. The community cares, we just have to ask! If everyone gives a LITTLE we can do BIG things! Asking has become easier than ever as you register a team it will connect through social media and do the work for you. An email to 10 friends/co-workers for $5 and you are DONE!

If you are interested please follow this link and register as a team captain: http://bit.ly/1eYOHfX or contact us at UW Bigs (uwbigs@uw.edu) for more information!

Thank you for considering this and helping out our cause and efforts here at UW! We appreciate your interest in Big Brothers Big Sisters at UW. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Cheers!
