Fundraising Solutions: : Youth Football
Youth football is expensive.
=
etc.
…it adds up!
if only there
was an easy way to take care of these expenses…
fundraising to the rescue!
there are five basic options 1. brochure programs 2. pre-order items 3. quick sellers 4. sponsorships 5. events
Strategies: 1) Select one or tw0 of
these options, and go all-out, OR
2) Work on all five areas for a strong, solid fundraising base
To make a well-informed decision, read on to see suggestions for each area
1. brochure programs We recommend selling with a
food-related brochure, because everybody eats!
Share in the Goodness,
Baker Jo’s, and
Delicious Delights are all programs that: -offer high-quality products -require no money to start -have a large profit potential
2. pre-order items The most popular pre-order items are
discount cards. They’re something customers will actually use, again and again.
Pizza Card,
Dinner & A Movie Card, and
City Savings Card -all have a very high profit potential- 50%-80%! -are a breeze to start -require some money upfront to start- but that money is gained back very quickly!
3. quick sellers Hand these products out to players and families the night of league sign-ups. This works great as an opt-in/opt-out option. Give interested families a carrier case or two of items to sell to earn money for their football player’s league fee.
Jack Link’s Beef Jerky or
$1 or $2 Candy Bars

4. sponsorships Find a business owner or professional who wants to see your team succeed, and Recruit Them as a Sponsor
-approach your desired sponsor with a win-win strategy: you get support, they get publicity! -pick a fun, original item to print the sponsor’s name on, like a
football-shaped stress ball or a
pom-pom with a coupon handle -check out http://www.promoplace.com/customresources for a complete selection of custom items
5. events Consider holding a one-night event to really bring in the profits. To ensure the night’s success: -try to hold an event that an adult in the league has expertise in -remember that not all will participate, but the profits will likely be shared -prepare: •Determine your goal- without it, how will you know if the event is successful? •Choose your target audience. •Get staffed. A big event could require a full-time volunteer position or committee for a month or two
Event ideas: Golf tournament Poker night Chili supper Spaghetti dinner Pancake breakfast Silent auction and raffle Tailgating party Bowl-a-thon Bingo night
more event tips
-Get the Word out! Letters, email, newspaper ads, radio ads, signs, Facebook…do it all! Get creative. -Pick the Best Day. Saturdays are a good choice. Schedule your event away from a big holiday (unless it coordinates). -Be Gracious. Don’t forget to say thank you for all the donations!
