Online Pledges and Registration for Bowlers

Again this year we are partnering with Firstgiving™ to give you an exciting tool to use in gathering pledges for the Achieve-A-Bowl.

With Firstgiving you can quickly and easily create your own personal fundraising web page (no experience required) and send it to your friends and family, who can donate by credit or debit card in an easy, secure online transaction.

All you need to do is:

  1. Visit the JA fundraising page at Firstgiving™ and view available bowling events.
  2. Create a login for yourself on the JA Firstgiving web page at firstgiving.com/jact.
  3. Build your online fundraising page. You can write a paragraph or two about why you are raising funds, upload your photos or even videos, and set your dollar goal.
  4. Email the link to your page to all your potential donors.
  5. Friends and family click on the link in their email to see your personal page and can see your text and photos. They can also see the progress you’ve made toward reaching your fundraising goal and can read comments left by other donors.
  6. Donors can securely use their credit or debit card to donate. They will receive an immediate response that their donation was received, and will receive a receipt that they can use when filing their taxes. It’s also easy to send personal thank yous to your donors using the Firstgiving tools.
