Why Choose Twisted Pin for Your Fundraiser?

There is nothing like the classic appeal of bowling. It is a slice of nostalgic Americana wrapped in the modern and sleek facility of Twisted Pin. We have an entertainment-filled location with food, drinks, arcade games, and, of course, incredible bowling. 

When you sign up for the FUNdraisers initiative, you can share this wonderful experience with your most dedicated supporters. In return, you’ll receive: 

• 50% Revenue Sharing: When participants arrive and say they are part of your fundraising event, we share 50% of all bowling and shoe revenue. The more people you bring to hit the lanes, the more funds you raise!
• Customized Additional Opportunities: We also support organizations that bring their own raffle baskets to sell tickets or raffle off prizes throughout the evening. This provides you with an additional fundraising opportunity where you receive all the profits. 
• Arcade Cards: As a bonus, we welcome you to take advantage of our numerous arcade games. We are happy to split the proceeds from our $10 arcade cards 50/50 when purchased as part of your fundraiser. 

As you can see, there are many ways to raise the much-needed funds your team, school group, organization, or other 501(c)(3) requires.

Success Planning Tips for Your Twisted Pin Fundraiser

At Twisted Pin, we want to see your FUNdraiser succeed as much as you do. Simply setting a date and hoping for the best will not do the trick. While we are happy to promote your event on social media, there are some key tips you should use to boost engagement for your upcoming fundraiser. 

• Early Promotion: Start spreading the word about your event at least a month ahead of time. Use flyers, social media, and community bulletin boards to make your event stand out by emphasizing the fun environment and good cause. 
• Engage Local Partners: You can partner with local businesses willing to donate raffle items, sponsor the event, or simply market to your supporters. 
• Social Media: Hop on your TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, and other social media accounts or local calendars to ensure everyone who follows you knows when to show up. 
• Email Campaigns: Excellent free tools like MailChimp can help you build email campaigns to remind followers of updates, prize teasers, and a countdown to the big event. 
• On-Site Engagement: Boost the fun of your upcoming FUNdraiser at Twisted Pin by making it a competition or having interactive activities. For example, award prizes to the top bowlers, make it a costume party, or even combine it with a photo contest on social media.
