Football is a fun game. However, even this game cannot be played
without the required funds for the uniforms and other expenses. With
many schools encouraging students to play this game, football fundraising activities
are a common phenomenon. It is important to choose the fundraising idea
which will best serve your purpose. Each team will have different
requirements for funds and hence, before you start implementing an idea,
you should have a clear estimate of how much money you want to generate
and its feasibility.
Let us now look at a few football fundraising ideas to use for your fundraiser:
· Candy and bake sale –Start with buying candy in bulk so
that you get them at a cheaper price. This way you can sell smaller
boxes of candy by increasing the price by $1 or more.When you tell
people that you are selling candy to help support the local football
team or for your school fundraiser many of them will gladly help you.
The baked items can be sold in a stall at a pre-determined venue and
could be held at your school, any store, etc. You would have to take
permission from the owners of the venue to make sure that they aren’t
inconvenienced by the bake sale.
· Scratch cards – Contact a coupon booklet seller and buy a
pack of coupons. These coupons have the cost printed on them but is
hidden under black ink. You would have to scratch the ink off the coupon
to reveal the cost so that the person who is donating knows the cost of
the coupon. Once that person buys the coupon, he or she could win
anything between 50 cents to $3. The coupons inside the booklet are
usually worth $40. With this activity, there is a guaranteed return of
90%.
· Pizza cards – You can get these pizza discount cards from
popular outlets. These cards can be sold for a fixed price. The person
who buys the pizza cards is entitled to several offers from the pizzeria
like a free slice or a free pizza or free extra topping, etc. This
fundraising idea can be very effective as there will be many
restaurants/pizzerias that will be willing to offer such discounts with
the aim of getting potential new customers to their restaurant.
· Candles – There are many manufacturers who design different
types of candles like scented, molded, etc. and these are a hit with
many people. Candles can be ordered from companies by paying a small
price and can be sold to people through door–to-door sales. It is
important that you let them know that this is a football fundraising
activity so that more number of people help you in the cause.
· Movie tickets – Almost everybody loves watching a movie on a
weekend. You can now sell them movie tickets at reduced prices by
placing a bulk order for tickets from theaters at discounted prices.
These can then be sold to team players friends and families as a
fundraiser for your team.
