The Furr Bowl is an annual fundraising event at Bemidji Bowl to support the work of Great River Rescue. Each year, individuals and groups register to bowl for two hours, while also conducting their own fundraising efforts. The top fundraising individuals and teams earn awesome prizes and are recognized for their efforts. The Furr Bowl is an important event in the life of our shelter. Help us reach our goal of raising $15,000 in 2024. This year's event is being held on April 28 from 1 to 3 pm at Bemidji Bowl. There are different levels of registration: team registration is $400 for a team of 6, lane sponsorship (without a team) is $200, and registration to play on a sponsored lane is $40 per person. The event includes two hours of bowling, pizza, pop, and prizes. Once registered, participants are given their own fundraising page through our partner Kindful. Pages can be edited to tell each participant's story as to why they believe in the cause of Great River Rescue. Then, you can share your page with family and friends seeking donations. Each donation gets us closer to our $15,000 goal and increases your chances of winning great prizes. Our top fundraisers will win specially designed bowling pin trophies!

Great River Rescue is considered one of the best places in Bemidji to volunteer, and you can choose how often and when you volunteer.  All volunteers must first attend a volunteer training class. Trainings are held on the second Wednesday of each month at 6 pm. They are about 1 hour long. Volunteers must be age 13 and up to work directly with the animals. Volunteers under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult. There is a $15 application fee to become a volunteer. This fee helps cover the cost of processing applications. Parents of kids ages 13–15 only need to pay one application fee. Once you submit your fee, we will email you to confirm and let you know about any upcoming trainings. Please note that it may be a few days before we get back to you.

If you are the leader of group and would like to set up a special training, just call us at 751-7910 and we can set something up for you.  Groups should be no smaller than 3 people and no larger than 10.

If you are required to obtain community service hours, you can complete your hours with Great River Rescue. However, you must first apply to become a volunteer and complete the Level 1 Training Class. Once you have completed the class you will be able to volunteer with us anytime we are open. GRR staff will be happy to sign off on your hours.

Additionally, we hold occasional Level 2 Volunteer trainings each year. Level 2 volunteers learn more about dog handling and training, intake procedures at our shelter, and other advanced topics. We encourage volunteers who enjoy their experience to further their skills by becoming a Level 2 volunteer.
