On August 2nd and 3rd, BrightStone will host its 13th Annual Bowlability fundraising event at Franklin Family Entertainment Center. Known for fellowship and fun, Bowlability "strikes" the heart of those who like to combine supporting a good cause with a good time. Participants are encouraged to raise a minimum of $100 then gather to celebrate with a spirited bowling session. This year's total event fundraising goal is $100,000 - the biggest goal of this event's 13-year history. Thanks to presenting sponsor, ALDI, 100% of every penny raised will directly benefit men and women with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Middle Tennessee.
Teams, individual bowlers, and sponsors, can register through at Bowlability.com. There are two registration options offered: the SPARE option, and the STRIKE option. The SPARE registration option costs $25 per bowler, which includes two games and shoes. The STRIKE registration option costs $125 per bowler, which includes two games, shoes, and a special Bowlability t-shirt, which serves as a donation milestone for the additional $100 donation. Bowlers who raise at least $100 after a $25 registration will receive the donation milestone Bowlability t-shirt at the event. Bowlers can register as individuals, or collectively as a team of six.
Despite the event being entirely virtual in 2020, the event still raised close to $50,000 last year. In 2019, the last year that the event took place in-person, BrightStone set its all-time Bowlability fundraising record of $87,800. The $100,000 goal for Bowlability 2021 seeks to build on the success of 2019 and 2020. BrightStone depends heavily on bowling team registrations and fundraising, as well as supporting sponsors in order to reach its goal.
