The two most common ways that people participate in fundraising programs is with school fundraisers and sports fundraisers. And while raising money for the school is very important to participants, it can be less personal than programs done for sports teams. These efforts can directly and immediately impact a team’s ability to even be able to practice and that is why finding great sports fundraising ideas is so vital.
The best sports fundraising ideas are ones that can be done during the season, that have high profits, and that are fun to do. You also need to consider that for teams with younger players that it will more than likely be the parents who do most of the selling so the fundraisers need to appeal to them as well.
What we have found is that sports teams do the best when they choose fundraising programs with products that will appeal to their customers rather than what seems like most fun or the programs that appear to require the least amount of effort. In fact, we have an excellent example of a team choosing a fund raiser you might not at first think they would choose who had their best results ever.
We had a wrestling team sign up and do the flower bulb fundraiser. Now it may at first sound goofy for a bunch of tough wrestlers to sell girly flower bulbs but when you think about it, it makes perfect sense. You see, all of the wrestlers had moms and grandmothers and girlfriends and they all had friends and they all love to plant flower bulbs. So when these wrestlers approached friends and family about helping to support their team, it was a no brainer for people to buy some flower bulbs.
The other great thing about flower bulbs as a sports team fundraising idea is that your team earns 50% profit, has no cost to start, and pays nothing for shipping on orders that meet our low minimums.
