11 Ideas for Soccer Team Fundraising Events
If you want to raise money to help cover upfront costs, like booster club entry fees and travel costs for away games, the following types of fundraisers can help your team reach their goals. Best of all? Most of them are incredibly easy to set up!
1. 50/50 Raffle
You want an easy, successful fundraiser for your school team? Look no further than the 50/50 raffle. Sell tickets, make money, and get people excited for the big things your team has planned.
2. Brick Fundraiser
The perfect way to raise funds for your soccer club is to host a brick fundraiser. You get tons of donations. Your donors get a laser-engraved brick or tile that serves as a lasting reminder of their generosity. It’s a win-win situation!
3. Walkathon
What better way to get your community up and active than a walkathon? Get sponsorships from local businesses and have your team members walk to raise money.
4. Kick-a-Thon
There is perhaps no soccer team fundraising idea more appropriate for your campaign than a kick-a-thon. It’s like a walkathon, but participants have to kick a soccer ball the entire time. It’s a fun way to raise funds, keep active, and help raise team spirit!
5. Bake Sale
The bake sale is a classic school fundraiser for a reason: it’s affordable, it’s tasty, it’s easy, and it works.
6. Potluck
Sweet treats not your thing? Why not try a potluck instead of a bake sale? Host one in the fall or winter, and let people bring in their best dishes that participants can sample for a small fee. This fundraiser is great because it gets everyone involved, from team members to family members to community members.
7. Silent Auction
A silent auction is another classic fundraising event that can help your team score big. Have community members donate items to your event, like discount cards to local restaurants, or auction off team jerseys and t-shirts. Your participants get something tangible to take home, and you get big bucks for your organization.
8. Concession Stand
Don’t kist fundraise before and after a soccer game; raise money at the games itself! Running a concession stand is a simple, surefire way to raise money for your team.
9. Online Donation Page
One easy way to raise funds throughout the year is to set up an online donation page. Besides allowing you to collect funds at any time, an online donation page is simple enough to promote on social media or through an email campaign.
(And, if you partner with Fundraising Brick, we will help you set up an online donation portal for FREE.)
10. Car Wash
Great for high school-age soccer teams, a car wash is a classic spring or summer fundraising event that can help your players build teamwork while raising money for their sport. It doesn’t get much better than that.
11. Cookie Dough Fundraiser
Could anything be as sweet as cookie dough? We don’t think so. A cookie dough fundraiser is great for youth soccer teams to raise money for travel expenses and equipment.
