My high school does not have much money, and we are trying to raise money to go to more camps and buy new jerseys. We are looking for fundraising ideas in which we dont dont have to put money out upfront. We have car washes planned but we are looking for other things. Our booster club is non existant

Have a liftathon. Your players get people to sponsor them for a penny or nickel a pound, or they can donate a flat rate ($10, $20 etc.). Then have your players go for max lifts in the core lifts you use. Their sponsors donate money based on the # of pounds lifted. If you can get permission to move some of your lifting equipment into the gym, you can even sell tickets, get an emcee, have a concession stand, and make a big deal out of it. Also, have a parent's meeting and try to get a booster club started. That is the best way to really get your program financed. If you have a local golf course that would be willing to help, getting a yearly scramble going is another great fundraiser!

How do you do your golf tournament? Also, how do you set up a fishing tournament to maximize $$?

Have you tried going to businesses? At the high school I am at, for $500 you get a sponsor sign that will be put up during the season. The next season to get that sign put up again you pay $300.
Have businesses donate gifts and hold an auction.

i tried getting donations a couple of years ago, but with no success. I wrote letters and even met with managers face to face but in the end no companies wanted to participate. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to write a better solicitation letter? or another tactic to get money from these local businesses?
