“A mind is a terrible thing to waste,”® so let’s enjoy an afternoon filled with networking, fun, prizes and most importantly reach our fundraising goals to support deserving college students. Our goal for this year is to raise $50,000 and have 300 plus bowlers to help further our students’ dreams to attend one of UNCF’s 37-member colleges and universities!

The UNCF Bowl-a-thon is a broad-based community fund raising event in which you can recruit individuals, family members, friends and co-workers to participate in this non-competitive bowling to raise the much-needed funds to support our UNCF students. The only competition is for the prizes, which go to a team and/or individual based upon the amount of funds raised.

$50 registration fee per participant. Minimum of $125 to be raised per team member. At least four members per team, no more than six. Great prizes for top fundraising team and individuals!

UNCF – the United Negro College Fund – seeks your sponsorship support for the 2025 DMV (DC, MD and Northern VA) Leaders Breakfast, “Black Women’s Voices in National Security.”

UNCF member colleges graduate more of their African American students than other private colleges or public universities, and their low tuition rates are less than half those charged by other private colleges. Because college graduates earn higher incomes than non-graduates, your sponsorship will be an investment in the future teachers, business leaders, engineers, physicians and other professionals who will graduate from UNCF member colleges to become productive participants in their communities and in the U.S. economy.

Join leaders representing business, civic, academic, faith-based and non-profit sectors within the DMV area in a discussion with some of the top African Americans in U. S. National Security, on why national security is important to our future.
