Fundraiser Tips - Youth Sports

Maximize Your Team's Fundraiser!

Of all the soccer, football and Little League teams and leagues that have participated in Insider Pages Fundraisers, a few have stood out from the rest. By following a few suggestions we have learned from these groups, your group can maximize your Fundraiser's proceeds.

Tips From Successful Team and League Fundraisers:

• Set your start date two weeks out to allow time to promote your Fundraiser to your group before the Fundraiser begins
• Distribute flyers at practices and games and Talk it Up!
• Post the link to your Fundraiser on your team's website or newsletter
• Invite supporters, friends and family from around the country to participate. Anyone over 18 can participate.
• Email reminders to your group members, message boards, distribution lists, etc. before and during your Fundraiser
• Divide your group into teams to encourage competition (e.g. by player, position, team or division)
• Encourage your participants to post team photos in their profile
• Send a press release, using the template we will provide, to your local newspapers or other media outlets
• Offer an incentive to the participant or team with the most reviews (e.g. a gift certificate to a sporting goods store)
