Football Fundraiser Ideas
Football is one of the most popular sports in the country. Students who manage to earn a first string position on the team are consider to be the cream of the crop and are often best placed to earn such benefits as sports scholarships if their teams is well ranked. They however are subject to the same budget deficits that many other school sports teams suffer in most regions. Arranging football fundraiser events is a common activity for many schools with these teams and thankfully thanks to the popularity most communities will turn out in large numbers to support such efforts.
A great place to raise money is during football games. Selling simple food items at a significantly high marked up price can help earn plenty of money from the profits. Novelty foods like lollipops are a great idea, particularly on days when you know families will turn out in large numbers. Fun events such as car washes, bake sales and walkathons are a popular option in many communities. They encourage community participation and people are willing pay plenty to take part and promote their local sports teams. During such events selling products such as t-shirts, banners, scarves and even food items is a great way to shore up the budget numbers. These are items that are usually cheap to produce, and in certain cases can get donated and you can then sell on at a significant profit.
Seeking out direct sponsors is also another way to go. When you look at the fundraising budget of football teams, you will find that there are broken down according to specific needs. For instance you can raise money specifically for uniforms by seeking out a corporate sponsor whose business logo can appear on the jerseys. A willingness to allow such sponsors to promote themselves alongside the team is a great way of getting your budget needs met.
