Youth Sports Team Fundraising
Stop Smoking Special
Every sports team needs to raise funds
whether it is for new equipment, uniforms, travel or simply
to keep fees low. Because you have a million and one things
to do, no time to think you just decide to go ahead with the
same fundraiser you did last year. Hey, it worked and you
raised some funds…
Whatever you do please don’t go status quo.
If you have been selling chocolate every year, don’t just
sell chocolate again this year because it’s what you’ve been
doing for the past 5 years. It’s worth taking the extra time
to analyze what sports fundraiser is best for you. Which fundraiser will generate the most amount of profit, in the
shortest period of time that does not take up too much time
and will enable you to reach your fundraising goals?
Trivia Night Fundraising
|
Trivia
Events are fantastic fundraising tools which are easy
to run, great fun for participants and have the
potential for excellent financial results for the
organizers.
For those
unfamiliar with Trivia Events, the events themselves
are similar to game shows such as ‘Who Wants to be a
Millionaire’, except everyone in the audience can play
along rather than just a handful of participants. The
‘Host’ or ‘Quiz-Master’ asks a series of questions and
the participants form teams to give the best answers
that they can. You should really try Trivia
Fundraising.
Trivia
Fundraising Events are already one of the most popular forms of
fundraiser in countries such as the USA, England and
Australia where Quiz Nights at bars, restaurants,
sporting clubs, and community halls have been
exceedingly popular for many years.
The events
themselves are extremely simple to run. Trivia Events
are notoriously good fun and have the potential for
you to reach extremely high targets in just a few
hours.

Magazine fundraising seems to be a more and
more popular choice amongst youth sports and schools these
days. Why? Because most athletes or their families subscribe
to their favorite sports magazines. So why not get your
favorite magazines at a discount price and raise funds for
your team as well? Why not pass on these great discounts to
your friends and family and have them help your team out as
well? You can subscribe to sports magazines such as Baseball
Digest, Golf Magazine, Runner’s World, Ski, Sports
Illustrated, Surfing, Tennis, Track & Field News, Volleyball
Magazine and much more. There are not only sports magazines
to choose from but whatever category you like such as:
Animals, Automotive, Business, Children’s Magazines,
Computers, Cooking, Crafts, Education, Entertainment,
Family, Fashion, Lifestyle, Music, Religious, Science, Teen
and much much more.
School Group Fundraising
When you think ‘school fundraiser’ what’s
the first thing you think of? Most people immediately think
of chocolate and candy bars. That’s because it’s an easy fundraiser to organize, it’s low cost to you and your
supporters, and it’s really easy to sell.
However, many schools today have banned
peanut products due to severe allergies. The solution?
Hebert chocolate! It has all the benefits of a traditional
chocolate fundraiser (including the creamy, delicious
taste!), and is certified peanut-free.
Kids love to dress up! Even high school-ers
love these fun and crazy fundraising days. You can organize
anything from “Wacky Hat Day” to “Black Tie Tuesday” to
“Backwards Day”. A really fun one is the “Switch-er-oo” –
students dress like their favorite teacher, and teachers
dress like students!
Students pay a small fee to participate.
Because the event doesn’t cost anything to organize, all the
money you collect will be pure profit.
Cookie dough is fast becoming a fundraising
standard for schools. That’s because the profits are so
high, and the product is really easy to sell.
Available in scoop-n-bake (tubs of dough),
or place-n-bake (boxes of pre-portioned, unbaked cookies),
and a range of decadent flavors, this convenient treat is a
favorite of busy families.
A fun, profit-boosting idea is to set up a
table at a bake sale or other school event. Take orders, or
pre-order dough and sell it directly.
Church Group Fundraising
Churches often having many fundraising initiatives on the go at once. There are
mission trips, youth groups, outreach programs, general
maintenance and up-keep and much more. Here are a few church fundraising ideas to help your church succeed.
Your church is healthy, the congregation is
good…but you need to raise funds for your church’s mission
trip or building initiative and you are not quite sure how
to go about it. Here’s how:
First, discuss your goals with your
congregation, the resources you have available and what
everyone is comfortable with. Once this is established,
then you can decide how to go about fundraising for your
church.
It’s always best to have a combination of fundraising products and events to help raise as much money
as possible. One great fundraiser for your congregation is
the church Scratchcard. It’s a great product that can be
personalized just for your church, and it’s a simple way of
getting donations. All you need to do is to ask your
friends, family and neighbors to scratch off an amount that
ranges from $0 to $2.50 and there you go – you start to get
some donations! In return, in order to thank them for doing
so, you give them a sheet of brand name coupons as their
free gift. It’s a lot of fun and very profitable for church
fundraising because each card raises up to $100.
Another great church fundraiser is having a
bake sale right after your Sunday mass. It’s a great way to
spend some additional time with your fellow brothers and
sisters and you get to do it over a few goodies.
If your church has a website, you could
promote your fundraising needs, and ask people to help out
if they can. If your church does not have a website, we
strongly suggest you to get one. This can be done by pretty
much anyone with no technical experience at little to no
cost. You need to get your word out and being able to refer
people to a website is an ideal way of doing so.
Magazine fundraising is another great one.
You can subscribe to your favorite magazine and get your
friends to as well all while fundraising for your church.
Get magazines such as Angels on Earth, Catholic Digest,
Charisma & Christian Life Magazine, Children’s Ministry,
Group, Living with Christ, God’s Word Today and many, many
more at up to 85% off newsstand prices! On top of these
savings, your church will get a 40% profit check on all
magazine sales made!
Raise Money for Your Religious Organization
And before taking on any church fundraising
endeavors, always pray together as a congregation and ask
God to guide you with your efforts. With Him helping you,
you are sure to take the right path. God Bless!
