The Women’s Health and Education Fund (WHEF), a Rhode Island-based nonprofit that exists to ensure safe, legal abortion and birth control methods are available and financially accessible to all Rhode Islanders, is calling for teams and individuals to register for the 13th Annual Fund-a-Thon taking place on April 30th at Meadowbrook Lanes in Warwick, RI, from 3pm-6pm. WHEF will be one of many funds across the nation participating in the National Network of Abortion Funds (NNAF) Fund-a-Thon throughout the month of April.

Anyone can register to create a bowling team or join an existing team and help WHEF raise the critical funds and awareness needed to make reproductive freedom a reality.  A team consists of four to six people per lane (over 6 members will receive additional lanes!).

This year, all donations received by May 2, up to $50,000, will be matched by NNAF.

Your friends aren't around that weekend? Register anyway and bowl with the Spare Balls (a team made up of solo bowlers ready to make a difference)!

All funds raised go directly to help Rhode Islanders pay for contraception and abortion care. Because WHEF is all-volunteer, over 95% of donations go directly to funding.

There is no fee to register for the event with a fundraising goal for each bowler of $50. Each registered bowler will receive a personal fundraising page to share and help with requesting donations from their friends, family and colleagues.
