SIGN UP TO BOWL
You can Create a Team or Sign Up as a Bowler to join an established team, or we can put you on a team in need of bowlers. We’re looking for families, businesses, and friends of all ages to form teams of 4-6 bowlers. Get creative with team names and costumes!!
COLLECT PLEDGES
Once you’ve registered, start collecting pledges! We ask that each bowler set a personal goal to raise $100 in pledges (or $400-$600 total per team). However, there is no minimum required since every dollar helps so much!!
Tax-deductible pledges can be made on the MAKE A PLEDGE page of this website via Pay Pal or by cash or checks made out to “Dover Children’s Home”.
WIN PRIZES
Prizes will be awarded, each session, for the following:
- Most money raised by a team
- Highest bowling score by a team
- Most creative team costumes or theme-wear
- A GRAND PRIZE will be awarded to the individual bowler who raised the most money during the day!
Thanks to generous underwriting by Summit Land Development, bowling shoes and lane fees will be provided free of charge for all participants. The individual bowler who raises the most money from each of the 4 sessions will win a grand prize!

About Our Organization
MISSION STATEMENT
At Dover Children’s Home, we provide tools and support for youth to heal from emotional trauma through community-based treatment programs that foster relationships and enable youth to create hope for the future..
HISTORY
Dover Children’s Home was organized to ease the plight of children and families who suffered due to the recessions of the 1890s and has continued to serve the needs of under-privileged children for 130 years. During the depression of the 1920s, more than 60 children resided in the Home. Over the years, the Home transformed further to providing intermediate-level residential care, case management, and therapeutic services to vulnerable youth.
OUR SERVICES
Dover Children’s Home is a non-profit, intermediate-level residential treatment program designed to provide a wide array of community-based services for youth between the ages of 10-20 who have been abused, neglected, or who are involved in juvenile probation. The Home itself is a level 2 program and can house up to twelve youth, and the Independent Living housing on-site is a level 1 program and can house up to four youth.
