Description

Join us for Furr Bowl 2025 on National Puppy Day, Sunday, March 23rd, from 1:00-3:00 p.m. The Great River Rescue Furr Bowl Fundraiser is one of the most important and popular annual fundraising events and all funds raised go to support the crucial work of Great River Rescue.  We need you to join us in supporting our work and our efforts to reach our goal of $15,000. 

Join us for two fun-filled hours of bowling, pizza, beverages, and prizes galore!

Prior to the event, teams conduct their own fundraising efforts for Great River Rescue, and the top fundraising individuals and teams earn awesome prizes and are recognized for their efforts. Team members can have some friendly competition amongst themselves to see who raises the most money, and the team with the most funds raised gets recognition and a prize at the Furr Bowl 2025 event. Ask family and friends for donations. Hold a fundraiser online.  Hold a bake sale, silent auction, Karaoke Night, indoor yard sale at work; maybe your community group or Church would like to donate.  Each donation gets us closer to our $15,000 goal and increases your chances of winning great prizes. Our top fundraisers will win specially designed bowling pin trophies painted by the incredible artists at Loon Country Arts!

The Top Fundraising Team will win a Puppy Gram or Kitten Gram!
 

This year we are offering more than one event sponsorship for $1,000.  First National Bank Bemidji has already committed to sponsoring - will you join them? There are three different levels of registration: team registration is $450 for a team of 6, lane sponsorship (without a team) is $250, and registration to play on a sponsored lane is $45 per person.
