I am brainstorming for a fundraising event for our football team in the fall and just wanted to get input/feedback from all of you. Please tell me what you think of this idea:
SUPPER WITH THE TROJANS!
We sell tickets at $10 each (Each player should be able to sell a minimum of five tickets.) for a bbq supper(burgers and hot dogs) or spaghetti supper (whichever is less expensive and easier to prepare) on Thursday night of Homecoming week. We get parents to donate the food items for the meal, and we have the coaches and players cook and serve the meal. We will auction off the players' white (road) jerseys during the event, and whoever buys them can wear them on Homecoming. For the non-starters' jerseys, we will have a silent auction during the meal. For the starters' jerseys, we will have a live auction following the meal. And we will also auction off one of my coaching shirts or jackets. Whoever wins my shirt or jacket can be on our sideline for the Homecoming game. People don't have to have supper with the team in order to participate in the auction as I am sure there will be lots of girlfriends who want to bid on jerseys. We would finish up with a very brief pep rally.
This would all be dependant on my wife agreeing to organize it, of course!
Please let me know what you think, and thanks in advance.
