All about how the bowl-a-thon is coming together!! I am so interested in this idea!! How will it run? What is planned? How did u go about setting it up? Only a few more weeks!!
:)
Well, it's a bit hectic, but it should be a great time! So far it looks like we will have about 20 or so bowlers and tons of cheerleaders! :) We have custom t-shirts with the awareness ribbon for all the bowlers. We will be having pizza and cake (I think I am going to make a CDH Awareness Ribbon Cake). I plan on having a raffle and prizes for the bowlers.
The idea is that each bowler will bowl 2 games, and have friends/family sponsor them on a per pin basis (or a single donation).
It was really easy to set up. I contacted the bowling alley to set up a date and time, and sent out invitations and sponsor sheets. The t-shirts I had custom made at vistaprint.com ($4.50 a shirt!!!), and am asking local business for gift card/item donations for the raffle and prizes.
Here are the invitations I sent out:

Wow Corin - only a few weeks to go!
By the looks of all your excellent planning I'd say
it's going to be a fabulous day in honour of your
gorgeous Gabe:)
Wow Corin! What a wonderful idea.
Can't wait to hear all about it.
Ok is this on Saturday or Sunday?? The 16th is a Sunday but u have Saturday on the invite!
lol- darn typo! It's sunday Nov 16th! I had 4 people proofread it before I sent it out and no one caught it until it was too late!
LOL I can not wait to hear how it goes! It is such an awesome idea! Shane and Jess are wanting to "steal" this idea from you. We have several bowling alleys close by and a few friends that travel all over to bowl.
Thats awesome! It's such an easy and fun fundraiser! I can't wait!
I think that it might be a great project for them 2. I think that it is such an awesome idea!
Let me know if I can donate anything.
Corin, you will have to take a zillion pics and post a commentary on how the day goes.....

Hey Corin,
R u already for Sunday??
Have you settled into the new house??
Shaz xx
Hey Shaz! We are slowly settling into the house. There are still a lot of boxes and no pictures on the walls yet or curtains, but it is really starting to feel like our home and it makes me sooo happy! We lived in our last place for 2 years, but I hated it, so it never really felt like home. This is so much better! Now I just have to get some furniture! We didn't have room in the last one for much of anything!
Almost all set for next week! I still have to work on getting some prizes and a few other things, but it is coming together nicely. I think it will end up being a very nice day!
What have you been up to? I feel like I am so behind here with posts I have no idea whats going on with anyone!
Be looking for something from me in the mail, I am going to send it out tomorrow :)
Awww-Kate you are so sweet! I love getting surprises :) Do you have my new address?
:) I'm smiling because you sound happy... The new pad sounds great.... I'm glad you guys have settled and are feeling the love already! Imagine what it is going to feel like when you get finished with pics on the walls, curtains and furniture :)
Gabriel's day is going to be awesome!
xxxxxxx
Gabriel's day does sound WONDERFUL!!
You sound VERY happy--which you deserve nothing but the best Corin.
I do have it, I am going to mail it UPS, I don't know if they do PO's or they will send it to your apartment, I have both just in case!!
sounds good! Now I'm excited :) :)
Only a few more days until Gabriel's Bowl'a'thon.
I know it will be GREAT!!!!
Can't wait to see pictures.
Meeeee neeeither ;)
(((((HUGS)))))) Corin! Will be thinking of you all weekend!! I know it is going to be just great!

Hey Corin,

Corin,
How did the day go?????
xxx
Hi Corin,
Looking forward to hearing how the day went. You did an amazing job!
xx
Thinking of you xxxx
Hi Corin,
thinking of you and Gabriel
xx
I've been thinking about you, Corin. How did Gabe's bowlathon go? How are you doing?
How did it go??? Any interesting surprises? ;)
We want pictures! :)
The day was perfect!!!! I figured out my "big surprise" a few days ago and surprised Barb by showing up at the airport! lol! I couldn't let them get away with spending a night in Rhode Island without seeing me ;)
The bowl-a-thon was incredible, we had well over 50 people attend, and most of them bowled! We had people asking about CHERUBS and CDH so we raised quite a bit of awareness throughout the day! The mangagers asked us to do it again next year :) We had 5 CHERUBS families come, Jen Brown and her family, Steph, Barb, Joelene Ross and her family, and Jeanne Vaughn and her adorable boy-Griffin! It was amazing!!! I will post more about it soon when I have some extra time.
