Fundraising Opportunities
We’ve selected two of our favorite fundraising events and want to help your organization have some fun and MAKE SOME MONEY!
| Charitable Fun at Chipper’s - A FUNdraising Event | |
| We offer a discounted price on 2 games or 3 games and shoes. Your organization can create and sell tickets to your event at any price you would like and keep the difference. We also allow fundraisers to bring in outside food at no additional cost so you can make your ticket price a bit higher. Some groups bring in silent auction items and other fun activities that raise additional funds. We have some great ideas - call today and we can help you design your Bowling Fundraiser! | |
