Thinking about doing a lift a thon with our team this spring. Has anyone every did it before? Do you have a template I could look at.?
I'm thinking telling each athlete they have to raise $100. Offer some sort of T-Shirt or Gloves or something to the top 3 money raisers.

I do not have a template anymore because it was years ago. We had an incentive that if you raised $100 you got a spirit pack free. I think the spirit pack was a shorts and t-shirt, and if you raised $150 you also got hoodie and sweatpants. We still made a good profit and as a really small school we didn't have a lot of expenses.
It was good thing.

We have moved from a lift-a-thon to a combine-type event that we hold in the dead time between winter and spring sports. I don't have any of the paperwork because I'm not the coach who actually runs it. We divide the team into 3 weight classes. We give awards to the player in each weight class who benches the most (5 reps) and to the player in each weight class who gets the most $$$ in donations. We also give awards to the overall best bench and most $$$ donated. The awards are gift certificates to local pizza shops, sporting goods stores, gym memberships, etc. Each player gets a t-shirt with some kind of team weight lifting logo on it.
We started doing this in the school gym, but moved it to a local fieldhouse. Parents are invited, and many attend.

Kids, and people in general, love the combine, so this makes a lot of sense. |
