Welcome to the FOURTH Annual National Abortion Access Bowl-a-Thon!
Abortion funds from across the country are raising money to make reproductive rights a reality for women who can't afford to pay for an abortion—and we want you to join us! 
 
What is a Bowl-a-Thon? And what’s an abortion fund?  
The Bowl-a-Thon is a nationwide series of local events that allow community members (you!) to captain your own bowling team, participate in a kickass national event – and raise money to help women and girls pay for abortions they couldn’t otherwise afford.

Abortion funds are local, grassroots groups that work tirelessly to help low-income and disadvantaged women who want an abortion and do not have enough money to pay for it. Abortion funds help women pay for their abortions, help them buy bus or plane tickets, and even offer a place to stay for those who have to travel for an abortion. Abortion funds make a real difference in women’s lives…and you can join them!

When is the Bowl-a-Thon?
Throughout the month of April. There are dozens of different bowl-a-thons (and one miniature-golf-a-thon) in communities around the country! Find an event in your community, recruit your team, choose a brilliant and punny team name, and start fundraising now!
 
Why participate in the Bowl-a-Thon?  
  • Because you know that without resources, there is no "choice."
  • Because you’re pissed at the way health care reform has rolled back women’s rights.
  • Because you love being a part of building the movement for social and reproductive justice.
  • Because you’re a crack bowler who wants to strut your stuff.
  • Because you know: friends + abortion rights + rented shoes = the event of a lifetime!
Join us today as we strike down barriers to abortion access! 
 
What if I want to help, but don't want to bowl?  
Great! How about joining the Virtual Bowl-a-Thon? All the fun, none of the rental shoes...click here to find out more. No time to put together a Virtual Bowl-a-Thon? Donate directly to the Bowl-a-Thon and know that you're helping to blow the top off the Bowl-a-Thon thermometer!
 
Every donation is 100% tax-deductible and makes a real difference in women's lives.
