Unique, Simple Fundraising Ideas for Little League Sports

Little League Sports are important for kids because they are physically active, learn about teamwork, discipline and improve their athletic abilities.

Fundraising is also an important aspect of being in a sports team. Funds usually have to be raised for covering field maintenance expenses, brand new uniforms, paying umpires, travelling, buying bats and gloves, or attending tournaments and it is usually not that easy.

This page provides hints and tips for successful Little League Sports fundraising.

Easy Little League Tips & Ideas

We understand that there are a lot of expenses for a sports team or league - uniforms, equipment, registration fees, and more. Fast Track Fundraising is here to help you with fast, easy sports fundraisers so that you can spend more time training, and less time fundraising!

Tip #1: Sell Fundraising Products At Games
Be sure to have your fundraiser items available for sale at your games. It's as easy as setting up a table and having a parent available to answer questions, sell products and collect money. You can even have the announcer tell the crowd about the products you are selling and what you hope to achieve with your sports fundraising efforts. Best of all, there is no advertising needed, since people will be coming to your games anyway!

Tip #2: Go Where the Sports Fans Are
Take advantage of the traffic that sporting events and sporting goods stores get. Who better to support a kid's baseball team than a huge fan of the game? Set up a table where fans and shoppers congregate, and be ready to tell people all about your team. Bring a team picture if you have one! (Make sure you talk to the management to ask for permission first!)

Tip #3: Choose an Effective Fundraiser
Traditional fundraisers like car washes and bake sales take too long to raise the money that you really need. Want to raise $1,000+ in one week? It is possible! Here are a few fast, easy sports fundraiser ideas that can help you get there:

Discount Card IDEA!

Discount Cards are a great way to fundraise in your community where everyone can benefit!

Have you ever heard of a discount card? Most people have probably been given a Discount Card or seen them being used at local restaurants.

Discount Cards are great ways to fundraise because they pack so much value!

The reason that discount cards are so effective and usually very successful as a fundraiser are because of the following:

1. They are portable! They are the size of a credit card which means that you can have savings in your pocket whenever you find yourself at a participating business. There is no need to worry about having forgotten coupons still hanging from the refrigerator door, where they are of no use.
2. Businesses like them! Businesses are often more than willing to participate in a discount card program because they also benefit from your fundraiser! Discount cards are like free marketing for businesses and they realize that saving-money is a big motivator for customers. Businesses therefore benefit from increased business which in turn also helps the local economy thrive.
3. Supporters love them! Supporters love the idea of saving money! Most of the participating businesses are usually local favorites which supporters are more than willing to eat or shop at... and with savings as an incentive, it's a win-win! Also, by presenting the discount card, supporters will be constantly reminded of their favorite little league baseball team that they helped support in fundraising for the purchase of new uniforms, gloves and bats.

Discount cards are competitively priced which means that there will be more money going towards your fundraising goal! With anywhere from 60-90% profit margins, you can be assured that you will reach profitability. A $10 pricetag isn't too shabby either and can even become your selling point!

Here are some tips to make your discount card fundraiser a success!
1. Let them know why you are fundraising!
2. Show them the card and list of vendors so that they know where they will be getting their discounts!
3. Sell the value. Don't forget to remind them that a discount card will be good for up to 1 year! Buying a year's worth of savings for only ten dollars will definitely help close a deal.

Custom Energy Drink IDEA!

Energy Drinks have become popular drinks. Why not sell customized Energy Drinks and have a successful/popular fundraiser

Energy drinks have become a national drink of choice for many people. They are a substitute for drinking hot coffee and dealing with the preparation/danger of spilling!

They are portable, canned in aluminum and pack a burst of energy! Why not try selling them at your next game, event, or sports game. Don't forget that people can begin to feel tired due to the fatigue of simply being out in the sun. Why not come to the rescue with a cold (yes... you would have to provide the cooling or ice) refreshing energy drink that not only will revitalize the supporter, but can also further inform them of your cause with your customized label!
