I have planned these before. One thing that has been helpful is to have LOTS of prizes. Not only have I sent out fundraising tips weekly, but in that email I would update everyone on the top fundraisiers and provide a prize for different things (first person to get 5 new pledges over $25 gets a $25 gift card, or person who raises most in that one week gets prize, etc) this spread out the prizes and encouraged people weekly to ask for more donations. - Kristen www.nonprofitsos.com Great summary of planning a bowl-a-thon.
