Give me your favorite fundraisers for sports teams!

DS made the travel hockey team and we're looking for some new ideas.

We hope to do a pancake breakfast at Applebee's, it was done last year and was a huge hit and made good money, but they might be already booked for the year, it's a popular place.

We will probably sell fresh wreaths in early December, they sell for 20.00, we keep 10.00 and that should be a pretty easy sell.

Any other favorite things you've either bought and didn't mind or something you have done that wasn't too difficult to sell.

It's nice to sell something that's useful, yummy and not too overpriced.

The organzation does an adult dinner/auction that raises quite a bit as well.

How much are you trying to raise? A few ideas could be going to an indoor play/trampoline/skate place. You pay $5 per person and charge $10 per person for a private time.

I'm not sure how much we expect to raise, but the Applebee's breakfast did so well in the past. We live in a small city, no trampoline type places and the ice rink is booked up.

I'm a sucker for a raffle. But the prize has to be good, like an iPad. You can charge a lot more money for the tix if the prize is good.

A friend of mine did a movie fundraiser for their team - they cut a deal with a local movie theater to show a current movie on an off time and sold tickets, Sunday morning I think. Turned out really well for them.

Out here there is a pizza company that does fundraiser frozen pizzas and cookie dough that is really good, people would actually ask us for it.

A Fuddruckers near us lets organizations come in to bus tables, get guests refills, etc and any tips they receive go to the organization. You might see if you could do something like that in a restaurant that doesn't normally have waiters.

We do lock-ins at the school. For $10/kid, parents can leave them at the school on a Friday 7-9 or so. We show a movie, have face painting, have the gym open, and do other fun things. All supervised, of course.

I like the discount cards. Our school football team sold them yrs ago. They had about 12 businesses that offered a freebie or good discount. The card was good for a yr and you could use it as many times as you wanted. Like a free ice cream cone with any McDonalds purchase. A free personal pan pizza everytime you ordered a large pizza. That kind of stuff. It was a laminated card with all of the discounts listed on it.

Oh and they charged $10 for the card and it was well worth it.

I love these also! One of my favorite fundraisers that I never mind buying is Butter Braids! They are so yummy. My df daughter's gymnastic school sells these twice a year and she says they always do very well.

Ideas....
Old Fashion Spaghetti Dinner - have the players do the cleaning/bussing of the tables. As local stores for food or item donations
"Family Night" somewhere - Can you rent out your YMCA for a family play/swim night?
Wrapping gifts at the holidays - will they let you use the rink lobby? At the same time you could do a bake sale.
Pizza Bingo - we do it as a FUNraiser but you could
Sell Hoagie dinners - again could use the rink - Hoagies, bag(s) of chips and a 2 Liter of Pop to take home for your family dinner
