Student Service Program: Bowl-A-Thon

About the 2024 Bowl-A-Thon

This year’s Bowl-A-Thon was established to raise financial support for the Student Service Program’s annual service-learning trips: In early June 2024, this year’s junior class will travel to New Orleans, while in late June 2024, this year’s senior class will travel to San Juan. For both trips, the students will spend four nights / five days experiencing multiple causes within the community.

These service-learning trips are critical to our mission of empowering the next generation of servant leaders, because it allows these students to better understand the needs of a community outside of their own. 

Our fundraising goal for the New Orleans trip is $750 per student, with a $18,750 campaign goal. Our fundraising goal for the San Juan trip is $1,000 per student, with a $15,000 campaign goal. Students are responsible for collecting donations and/or pledges prior to the event. Then, we will all come together on May 18, 2024 to bowl two games and have a lot of fun while supporting this great work!

How To Support

If you do not want to commit to an unknown donation amount (i.e. pledge per pin), you can use our Zeffy platform to make a one-time, fixed donation to the Ryan Nece Foundation. Once that is received, Zeffy will immediately email a tax receipt. Please note: Through Zeffy, the Ryan Nece Foundation will never incur any fees, even if you opt-out of their optional contribution during the donation process. 100% of your donation supports the student and their service-learning trip journey. Although there are suggested donation amounts based on sponsoring a day or multiple days of the trip for each student, you may also type-in your own donation amount. Every little bit helps!

  • Make a one-time, fixed donation for a SENIOR traveling to San Juan here via Zeffy.
 
If you would like to make a pledge per pin/point, you can use this Jotform link. For example, if you pledge $0.25 per point and the student’s highest bowling score is 80, the Ryan Nece Foundation will send you a donation payment link for $20 immediately following the Bowl-A-Thon event. A pledge per point is typically set before a student bowls, and it will apply to the highest score out of the two games played.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How does pledging work?

Using this Jotform link, donors can make a pledge per point of the student’s bowling game.
