Sports teams, from Peewee Hockey to Adult Softball Leagues, all need money to operate. The costs can be low as in youth soccer where a ball, goals, and similarly colored t-shirt uniforms are all that is required, to club Hockey teams with thousands of dollars of equipment and travel expenses. Luckily for these teams, people recognize that fundraising is as much a part of sports as are orange slices and Capri Suns at half times.
Sports Fundraising Ideas
Sports teams have been having fundraisers for a very, very long time and many teams have started looking for new sports fundraising ideas. The tried and true fundraising ideas like candy and cookie dough and holiday items are still very popular, but teams that want to really raise a lot of money are finding fresh fundraisers that they can use to cover their costs.
Besides looking for new fundraising ideas, many sports teams are trying to find healthier alternatives because, as athletes, selling sugary products really doesn’t look good. And, of course, profitability is always a concern when looking for a new fundraising idea because even if a fundraiser looks great, it just won’t do much good if you can’t make any money at it.
Since many sports teams are made up of youth, the parents of the team members have also started looking for educational fundraising options. If you are going to put in the time and effort required to have a successful fundraiser, they reason, why not use the time to teach your children valuable lessons about money, sales, and, with a Go Green Fundraiser, the environment?
Sports Fundraisers
So, you are in charge of picking a fundraiser for your sports team and you like the idea of a highly profitable, easy to run, educational fundraiser that is made up of new, fun, earth friendly products.

Our Healthy Foods Fundraiser is incredibly popular for sports teams. Not only are all of the foods you can pick from organic and all natural, but they come as a dry mix instead of a frozen tub. That means that you don’t have to get everyone together outside of practice to pick up food that can’t be allowed to thaw. Many teams have told us that this reason alone made their fundraiser much more enjoyable and less stressful.
For girls sports team we offer a Flower Bulb Fundraiser. Cheer Squads, Volleyball Teams, and Softball Teams all have told us that their Flower Bulb Fundraiser was one of the best they’ve ever done.
And you will want to be sure and enhance your sports fundraising efforts with the use of our free fundraising thermometer. It can be added to your teams website and is a great way to keep track of how the sale is going.
