Please help us make this event amazing!

⭐ Sponsor a Bowler! Make it possible for someone to enjoy the day who otherwise wouldn't be able to participate.

⭐ Become a Lane Sponsor! Have NADS showcase your business or organization! The earlier you sponsor the more shout outs you'll get: in the EBlast, on social media, and at the event.

Don't be shy - families, friends, and neighbors can be sponsors too!

⭐ Chip in for Prizes! We need help securing prizes for all our bowlers, raffles, as well as for our grand raffles.

⭐ Donate items you already have! Donate any new, unopened items toward our raffles. Toys, clothing, household goods, and even gift cards - everything is welcome!
