FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. Do I have to collect the money up front?
No, you do not have to collect the money up front – simply collect pledges. Turn in your sponsor
form with the pledge information marked BILL ME and we will bill your sponsors through the mail.
If sponsors want to give you money, mark the donation PAID and turn it in with your sponsor form
on March 20th or sponsors can make donations on our website: www.marysshelter.org.
Q. What if I am not good at bowling?
Bowling is fun for all ages! You are asking family and friends to sponsor you with a single, generous,
tax-deductible donation for your participation in this event,
not for the number of pins you can knock down.
Q. Does each team member need a sponsor form?
Families and couples can use one form if they wish. If two families
are bowling on one team, each family should have their own
sponsor form. Top prizes are awarded based on the sponsor
forms submitted – one prize per form.
Q. What if I can’t be there that day?
No problem! Simply put your completed sponsor form in an
envelope and mail it to Mary’s Shelter, 736 Upland Ave.,
Reading, PA 19607. We will send you a coupon for two games of bowling to be used at your convenience.
Q. How much can I raise?
There’s no limit! You will be surprised how easy it is — simply ask everyone you know —
family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, teachers, club members, church friends, even
out-of-town friends! Many prizes will be awarded to those raising the most in pledges.
