Contact the student activities center to inquire about funding for sponsorship. Sometimes, student activities boards help fund sport or athletic teams for which there is no official school team. Provide a team roster or a list of tentative team members to show that there is interest for a bowling team. Indicate the amount of funds needed, including league or tournament dues and uniforms.
Contact a local business to invite them to corporately sponsor the college bowling team. Offer to name the team after the business or to display the business logo on the bowling team's uniforms. Alternatively, contact several businesses to distribute the costs of sponsorship. For instance, ask a business to fund team uniforms, league fees, a tournament or travel expenses.
Create a website for sponsorship where sponsors can contribute funds in any amount -- small or large -- that they choose. Post notice of the website in the school newspaper or send a university-wide email out to students, faculty and staff. Attract sponsors by convincing readers that a school bowling team would be valuable. For instance, emphasize that bowling is a fun and healthy activity for college students to enjoy instead of drinking or partying. Add that a bowling team would expand the diversity of student activities.
