Boston Renegades Fundraising

Beepball is an expensive sport to play. A ball costs $35 a piece and due to the complicated mechanics of it, sometimes it does not make it through a single practice. On average our team goes through about 40 balls a season. On top of that, there is no regional competitive teams to play. The Renegades must travel to play against other teams around the country. In order to fund the team, the Association of Blind Citizens helps coordinate events for us to raise money. Our fundraising methods and activities are listed below: Association of Blind Citizens Boston Renegades First Annual Bowl-A-Thon **Date: Saturday October 17, 2009 **Time: 12:30PM **Location: Lanes and Games 195 CONCORD TURNPIKE CAMBRIDGE, MA 02140 **REGISTRATION FEE: $25.00 PER PERSON/ $100.00 PER TEAM OF 4 **For more information please contact: Joe Ward at 508-246-4578 or jward269@aol.com **To participate, please download and complete the registration form.
