World Series of Bowling 2013

I am a bowler. A pretty good one at that. One thing I have wanted to do for a long time but have lacked the funds to do is to bowl on the PBA tour. From October 25 through November 3, 2013, the World Series of Bowling is taking place in Las Vegas, NV. The series includes a chance at 5 PBA tour titles, including a major (The World Championships). This would be a great opportunity for me to experience competing on the highest level with the best bowlers in the country and a few of the best bowlers in the world, and to do so without spending an entire season on tour. However, it costs a decent amount of money and it is far away from home.

My goal is set at $2500 with a deadline of Oct 1, 2013.
What the $2500 goes towards:
$300 for a full one year PBA membership (required to bowl in the tournaments).
$750 entry fee for the World Series of Bowling.
$500 for gas to and from Las Vegas, NV.
$400 for lodging.
$550 for equipment (bowling balls, shirts, etc).

Win or lose this would be a positive experience that will surely stay with me the rest of my life. Please help send me to the World Series of Bowling. Anyone's help is much appreciated, even a dollar or two.
