Baseball Team Fundraising Ideas
Enrolling your child in a sport such as baseball can be expensive. Camp, gear, registration fees… add them all up, and you’ll see that it gets pricey very quickly. Let’s not forget the time and all the traveling invested in every practices, games and tournaments!
Lucky for you, there are ways to reduce these costs.
Start a FundScrip Campaign: an easy gift card fundraising program
Starting a group is free and so are the donations with a gift card purchase. We’re way past the time when we had to knock to every door in the neighborhood to ask for pocket change or to sell chocolate.
Everyday expenses can be paid with gift cards. Changing a payment method is very interesting considering the donations gained for the group from purchases that would need to be done anyway, such as gas and groceries.
Meet in Person Regularly
FundScrip requires consistent use and the best way to motivate your group is to meet in person. Practices and games are a great occasion to remind everyone to order their cards. Motivating them could lead to a nice sales increase and therefore, to more group funds!
Track the Funds Raised to Reduce Fees
Nobody likes having to pull the weight for everyone else. If some people use the FundScrip campaign more than others, that needs to be reflected when the campaign is finished. Luckily, FundScrip allows you to track all your funds raised by supporter, so you'll always know who's contributed what!
Don’t Forget to Sell Gift Cards at Events
If you have events to promote your baseball team, take gift card orders using paper order forms. This way, you can both take orders from new and familiar people. Gift card fundraisers can be easily combined with other fundraisers. For example, you can have a game night with a small entry fee where you’ll be selling prepaid gift cards.
FundScrip is always proud to be part of fundraisers. What are you waiting for? Start your baseball team fundraiser now!
