Strategies to Recruit Teammates

Social Media Post

I just signed up for Big Brothers Big Sisters' Summer Bowl for Kids' Sake event! Have you heard of it? It's a really easy, fun way to give back to children in the KC community. To participate, I need five people to join my team. All you have to do is post your fundraising page to Facebook, a few times, to hit your $250 fundraising goal. After that, we'll get to pick one night to celebrate at Park Lanes, in July! There will be free pizza, drinks, cosmic bowling and tons of prizes! Comment below, and I can get you signed up on my team!
