Football Fundraising

Football Fundraising Ideas for your team, PTO or school.

  Many fundraising teams have us print football with the team mascot and logo... and without paying anything upfront.   (We accepts school purchase orders or you can team up with a local business to sponsor you)  

How is this done?

Football fundraisers

Football fundraisers

Find a sponsor :  In this sample the football team found a local pizza to co sponsor the order of the footballs to be custom printed.  At time the sponsor will pay for the whole production.  The footballs then have imprint of the school team logo and also a coupon for a discount at the sponsor's place of business.   It's a win - win proposition.   For example the cost of 100 footballs with one color imprint on the front is $2.15 per ball, or if you wanted to fit two sponsors on the same ball, you can have imprint on the front with one sponsor and imprint on the back with another sponsor, then just add $0.35 per ball for the reverse side imprint in one color.
Football Fundraising Idea

Football Fundraising Idea

  You can get the sponsor(s) pay for the footballs and then distribute the footballs at your football games.  You can sell those for whatever you want to charge.  If the sponsor paid for the whole order, you can sell the balls for something symbolic, say $1.50 or $2.00 a ball or if you contributed a share of the cost then you can raise your selling price by whatever you see appropriate.  The sponsor gets the benefit of repeat advertising as the coupon (in our example the ball has 10% off on large pizza) is reusable every time a customer brings the ball to the vendor or for a certain period after the football game.  The vendor gets extra and repeat business and your team just raised extra funds!
Football Fundraising Idea  Who would not want to spend a buck or two for a great mini football with the team logo, when this football will return their contribution by earning a great discount at the local restaurant, oil change, auto repair service or other places who will team up with your school to promote their products and services.
Football Schedule Football Fundraiser Idea

  If you do not have a business sponsor, you can still sell the footballs for $5 and imprint the footballs with the team logo and the game schedule!

XMAS Tree with $1000 worth of lottery TIX Fundraiser 4 Our Troops

Today, we have read about an awesome and original fundraising idea.

We hope that sharing it with our visitors would give inspiration to those looking for unique fundraising ideas and those who can can actually participate and chip in to the original fundraiser to support our heroes.

CLIFTON?PARK — A unique fund raiser for mailing packages to U.S. troops stationed in the Middle East may make someone a big winner come December.

Two upstate non-profits that send the “care” packages have combined on an unusual way to pay their mailing costs. The directors of Operation Adopt a Soldier and Books for Troops are requesting donations of unopened scratch-off lottery tickets. The tickets may be in any denomination.

Once the groups have collected tickets totaling $1,000, they will be used to decorate an artificial Christmas tree. A raffle will be held for the tree with all its unusual decorations. The tickets, which are going on sale soon at $10 each, will give some lucky winner a chance at a very merry holiday.

The idea for the unusual fundraiser came from Clifton Park resident Ellen Keegan, the founder of Books for Troops. “We started sending paperback books to our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan as part of Operation Adopt a Soldier,” Keegan said.

Scratch-off tickets may be sent to Books for Troops, 192 Oak Brook Commons, Clifton Park, NY 12065-2677.

The drawing for the Christmas tree will take place at 2 p.m. Dec. 12, at the Operation Adopt a Soldier and Books for Troops Family Christmas party at the Saratoga Springs PBA Range, 54 Weibel Ave., Saratoga Springs. Winners need not be present.

Community Contest to Design Custom Christmas Ornaments

    We often obtain information on how to promote, market and help design your Custom Christmas Ornaments.   Here is one excellent example from local news on how one Chamber of Commerce taps into a local community talent to create a successful Christmas ornament fundraiser on yearly basis. An Article Published in a local newspaper  

Chamber looking for ornament photos

Though Christmas may still be five months away, the Albert Lea-Freeborn County Chamber of Commerce already is getting into the holiday spirit. Chamber officials announced this week they are again looking for photo submissions from Freeborn County residents for the 2011 Chamber Christmas ornament. Submissions will be displayed and voted on by area residents in September. A full article can be found at : Albert Lea Tribune   You can use a similar strategy working with your local newspaper and provide them with a similar article along this format:  
  • The article calls onto local residents to submit their photos for the annual Christmas ornament.
  • It provides deadline and specification for the photo submissions.
  • It gives details on the previous submissions that were selected in the past years
  • It invites the readers to reserve the current year edition and gives a contact information.
  What an excellent way to engage the local community in creation of the ornament and at the same time generate interest in the custom ornaments once printed and delivered! Here are some samples of Custom Ornaments we have designed for local Chambers of Commerce.

Promote your Christmas fundraiser

Step-by-Step how to promote your Ornament Fundraiser for a maximum success!

promoting your fundraiser event

promoting your fundraiser event

  • Have members of your community and organization participate in the ornament design.  Here is an article on how a Chamber of Commerce announces a contest every year so the community members submit a their photo of the local landmarks for the annual custom ornament.  Click to read the whole article here.
  • Work with local newspapers to help you spread the word.  Reporters are looking for community stories and events and if you write a nice article and submit it to local newspapers you will most likely get it published!
  • Publish a write up on your website - then you can refer to the news media reporters to the website write up because it will function as a press release.  For inspiration take a look at this case study - click here -   on how University wrote up the introduction of their anniversary ornament customized with their oldest building.
  • Distribute your Fundraising Flyer Everywhere - post it on the windows of the local shops and gas stations with the shop owner's permission. Post it on the local bulletin boards in your supermarket, community centers, public offices, schools, churches, frequented walkways (if your town permits it), give some flyers to each student to bring home to their parents so they can post them at their workplaces. Also send out letters to the area churches, synagogues, and community groups to post the flyer on their bulletin boards. If you need help with creating your fundraiser flyer, we have additional tips on our fundraising ideas page.
  • fundraiser event booth

    fundraiser event booth

    Setup a booth at local sports events, town and community events and fairs. You can either sell your fundraising products there ((( make sure to bring your large banner and decorate your booth with it to stand out ))) or you can promote your event there as well.
  • Make the largest banner you can make and post it on the fence or a wall where the even will take place (with the owner's / management permission).  You can make a home made banner, especially if you are a student organization.   If you wanted to try for a free vinyl banner for your fund raiser, we hear that you can contact Coca-Cola or Pepsi (Pepsi Representative at 1-800-932-0966) and find out if they can print you a free banner for your event. These companies have been doing so for non profit and student organizations, they just add their logo as a sponsor. The free banner needs to be arranged for well in advance (3 weeks? ) so make sure to contact them as soon as you know your event scope and date.   If you do not have the ability to to make your own banner and no time to try for a free Pepsi/Coke sponsored banner, you can order a Personalized banner though our online event store.
  • use banners to promote your fundraiser event

    use banners to promote your fundraiser event

  • If you also ordered our custom printed ornaments, please let us know and we will REBATE you 20% of the banner purchase price, if you purchased the banner from our store in a form of a special discount/refund on your custom printed ornaments order.  To get the rest of the funds for the banner, go to local banks, insurance companies, restaurants or other businesses and ask for a $10 donation to print your banner for a Charity cause, most businesses will have no problem donating$10 to become co-sponsor of your banner for the fundraising event,  you can even pick our a banner design that will display your sponsors' names.
  • Contact your local radio stations and ask them if you can send them a public service announcement about your fundraising event. If they allow you to do so, write up a short press release talking about your event that could be read by the radio show host or a news anchor. Try the same with local cable TV stations. Write an interesting press release for the editors and news stations. Come up with a catchy headline. Is the fundraiser going to benefit community? Remember it's always about the group, not you. Make sure the press release informs the readers and listeners about where, when, and how they can participate in helping your cause and clearly explain the cause. You can talk about your group and how the money will be spent, but make sure you show it as positive accomplishments rather than "We want, we need." If you already have your ornament for Christmas fund raising on hand, send a volunteer to the radio station with the press release or announcement and a sample of your fundraiser ornament as a gift, the station will love it! (We have many radio and TV stations ordering these ornaments from us)
  • Send announcements for the community events calendars to your local news papers.
  • If your town permits it, you can make A-Frame lawn/street/roadside signs announcing your event and set them up about week before the event, just make sure you remove them promptly after the event. Some cities require a bond to do this, but the fee is refunded when all the signs are removed after the fundraising event.
  • Tell the members to email their friends and family about the fundraiser or the fundraising event. This is very effective and it does not cost anything. you can also ask the recipient of the email to forward this email on to their friends to help spread the word about the fundraiser.
  • Do you have a blog? A website? A web forum you post to often? Post information about the fundraiser on your website, blog or friendly related websites and forums online. Many members of your organization have their own Twitter, Facebook, MySpace or LinkedIn page: ask them to post the info about your fundraiser on their pages and blogs and favorite forums. You can also post the information about the fundraiser or fundraising even on your local craigslist, it's free.
  • If you have a list of folks who donated or participated in a fundraising event before, send them a letter. If you are a school, see if there is a list of past graduates: send them a letter or a flyer.
  • Submit to social bookmarking / recommendation it websites. StumbleUpon Reddit Buzz! DeliciousSubmit your fundraiser to each of these social bookmarking sites. But you need to prepare for this, get all your friends to become members (create a profile on these sites and then get all of your friends to bookmark your link at the same time you do! This can make your submission popular enough to reach other members of these sites… which will drive traffic (and dollars!) to your fundrasier. To do this, save the URL on the social bookmarking site that shows your first vote. Then share this URL with friends who can vote for the same submission. This will maximize the value of your submission and give your friends who can’t give money another way to contribute to your success. You can coordinate this campaign via email.
  • fundraising Santa Claus

    fundraising Santa Claus

    On the day of the event, you can also spend a good part of the day waving at traffic, dressed in a costume to drive additional traffic to your fundraising event. If it is a fundraiser close to Christmas, have a suitable volunteer rent a Santa Costume. The Santa can then have an Elf helper waiving the sign pointing to the event, or better yet, setup Santa with a painted back drop of winter scene and have folks bring their own camera to take free pictures with Santa.... oh wait, this could be a fundraiser on it's own, if you ask for a voluntary donation to the cause (then you would probably need a polariod camera a give out picture with Santa for a donation).
  • Go to the local Mall or a shopping center parking lot and hand out flyers.
