There are thousands of fundraising ideas for sports teams. So how do you know what will work? Here are five tried-and-true sports fundraising ideas that will have you winning this spring. Candy Bar Fundraising Believe it or not, you can make a lot of money selling chocolate bars for a dollar or two. The project is rather simple. Each member of the team that is trying to raise money is given a box or several boxes of candy and they sell the sweets to their family, friends and people in the neighborhood. An incentive can be given to the person that sells the most product. In the end, all the money is gathered together and used for the common cause. Selling Raffle Tickets Everyone is usually willing to chip in $5 or $10 to buy a few raffle tickets to help out a local sports team that might need new uniforms or money to take a road trip. The way this works is that you contact some local businesses and ask for some donations that you can use as raffle prizes. Car Wash Set up a spot, preferably at a local gas station where there is easy access and start washing cars. The enthusiasm of kids holding signs and making noise will attract customers. It does not hurt to have a couple of nice looking young ladies holding the signs dressed in bikinis. Yard Sale Have a big communal yard sale. As a group, gather up all the things you do not need or are willing to part with and hold a big yard sale. Place signs a few days in advance of the event and note that the proceeds go towards helping out the local team. Charity Golf Tournament On a much larger scale, organizing a charity golf tournament can bring in big bucks. Golfers, as a group, are very generous and they also have the means to donate substantial sums of money. There is a lot involved in such event so plan early so that everything will go smoothly.
