Best I have been apart of is a golf ball drop. You must have the right paperwork filled out. We charged $50 a golf ball,and dropped them on our practice field during halftime of one of our games. Winner gets $10,000. We presented the check during the game. We cleared $50,000 even after the payout.

lws55 : We do the local discount cards at my school, too. The first year we did the Gold Card thing. The guy came back a week later and left with half of the money the kids raised. Now we do it ourselves. I can save you half on the cost of producing the cards. I'm getting 1000 cards for $337 and I'd put them up against anyone's for appearance. Go to My1Stop.com. I get absolutely nothing for endorsing them. I'm just trying to save you some money. I did get a 10% discount for mentioning a "promotional discount code" I got in a previous email from them.

Our best fundraisers year in and year out are with Adrenaline Fundraising. They have a great reward system for the kids that hustle. We draft the kids into teams and it turns into a big competition with loads of trash talk. Their system is quick and simple, we will do a discount card, tumbler, or cookie dough sale twice a year. They get a cut but also do all of the leg work that I hated as a HC. We wont make less than $5k on any of those. Our rep might as well be a booster he's around so much hooking us up with gear or buying lunch. Even if another company would offer a better split we'd stay with Adrenaline because it works so well. We also will do a begger letter fundraiser the first week of the school year once we've got all of the new freshmen in ($4-$5k) I run our liftathon in April before spring football starts and were really killing it in the weight room ($3k). We have done golf tournaments in the past but it became too much hassle for the amount of money we made. We don't sell banners or program ads anymore, now we have a company that pays us $4k and does the whole thing themselves which is easy money. I'm trying to organize a fishing tournament for a year from now only because I know more people that fish than golf.

I know it is late in the season but I wanted to send this out. we have been using this company for the last 2 years and have been really happy with what we received. They offer Sweatshirts, Sweatpants, and jackets for both men and women. Most everything is customizable with names, positions, and numbers.
They will give you two options as far as rewards, they will offer free gear for a certain number of items sold or they will add $5 to the cost of each item and send you a check. All of the sales are web-based so you don't have to deal with taking orders. They ship all the stuff to you and it comes in bags with the person's name on it so you just hand it out. We took them to our merchandise table and people just picked them up.
The boys really like the gear, and as an incentive, I told them if they all bought the sweatpants and sweatshirts they could wear that on game day instead of a shirt and tie. They are really good about working with you and your logos/artwork to incorporate it into the gear. Here is their website and the guy that I worked with, I am getting nothing out of this I just like the stuff and it is a super easy fundraiser for us to use.

Just got back from the Las Vegas Glazier Clinic and wanted to know if anyone has every used Blast Athletics for an online email fundraiser. They offer an 82% return on Donations whereas eteams sponsors offers 70% and snapraise offers up to 77% if you meet certain requirements. Just curious if anyone has any experience with them.

Something the Daycare/church where we take our 4-year-old did was a date night for Mom and Dad. You had to sign up but from 6-9 on Valentine's day you could drop your kid off and then go have a date. all they asked for was a donation. I think my wife gave them 20 bucks because we were back at 8. There were age requirements and the kids had to be potty trained but they had them in their playing games and singing songs. Not only did they keep him for the 2 hours but when he got home he crashed.
Easy enough to do in a stadium, bring them all in and lock the gate behind them have bags set up for an obstacle course, play tag, dodge ball, etc... have them pre-register so you know how many kids are going to show up. Set a certain number of players per kids (i.e. 1 player for every 6 kids) give the players community service hours.
Coaches grill up some hot dogs and hamburgers, bottles of water, and some bags of chips. what do you think?

During that evening any one who comes in and says they are supporting XYZ Fb team... chipotle donates half their bill back to you HALF! most places it is like 10-20% I go to the chipotle by our school once a week anyway... i know all the workers because i go so often... they started just hitting the fundraising button on the cash register with like every customer it took me all of 10 minutes to set up And i put out a few tweets/IG posts about it we made $2500 off of it and it took no work and no selling anything people love chipotle and it gave everyone an excuse to eat out and support the team

Adrenaline Fundraising is the companies name. I'm sure they have a rep where ever you are located. At most Glazier clinics they are the vendor booth thats baking cookies and giving away free coozys with adult beverages already in them.

We sold Gold Cards through a company that only kept 30% of the profit and we raised a ton of money. I was coaching in a big program and we managed to rake in over $15k in one night.

We sell mulch. Local company delivers the skids. We charge $4/bag, make about $1.75 bag. $10 delivery. We do not knock on doors and ask. We just deliver flyers into mailboxes. Last three years, avg about 10-12k profit. VERY easy. A couple days of hard work and delivery. Good team building with kids and parents.
Then we sell cards in the summer. Get them made for a $1. Sell for $10.
