Fundraising Tips for Soccer Teams

By Sakai Blue , last updated December 15, 2011

Time for your soccer team's fundraising again? There’s nothing that the parents of youth soccer league players love more than fundraising time. Ok, that’s not entirely true. In fact, it’s probably the only thing about their children’s soccer-playing lives that they wish would go away. But soccer fundraising is a necessary evil that’s not going away anytime soon.

In today’s economy, you want to make sure that the kids’ fundraising efforts are truly profitable. If you want your kids to have equipment and uniforms and transportation and any of the things that go along with playing soccer, you’re going to have to help the team choose fundraising activities that bring in a lot of profit. If you’re on the hunt for some soccer fundraising tips and ideas, check out the list below, which can all be found at Easy-fundraising-ideas.com.

Discount Dominos Pizza Cards

Everyone likes pizza, and every town has a Dominos. And now, thanks to the renewed effort that the company has taken in order to make their recipe better than ever (as well as the recent end to the NBA lockout!), more and more people will be ordering Dominos pizza for hanging out time. With the discount cards, your supporter will get a free medium one-topping pizza when they order a large pizza with one topping.

The card can be used for as many as 20 times, and won’t expire for a full year. That means that, over the course of a year, if they use up to the full value of the card, your supporter will be getting as much as $160 in free pizza. Each card costs only $10, and the best part? Your team gets to keep 90% of the profits! That means that from every $10 card the team sells, your team gets to keep $9. That makes the discount Dominos Pizza Card fundraising program one of the most profitable.

Restaurant.com Fundraiser

What could be better than pizza discount cards? Not much to some people, but to others, they’d rather go for a discounted restaurant bill! With a restaurant.com fundraiser, your supporters pay $10 for a $25 restaurant card. And the great thing about this program is the sheer number of participating restaurants. 100? Nope. 500? Higher! There are over 10,000 restaurants nationwide that are part of this program. That means that you can sell them to Uncle Frank and Aunt Sally in Boca, along with your nextdoor neighboors!

Your team sells the card for $10 and gets to keep $5. The supporter only has to pay $10 for a $25 meal. In this economy, that’s a huge and welcome deal for just about anybody. And the best part is, the cards never expire. Most people forget about their gift cards, and when they finally do think about them, they’ve expired. The fact that this card never expires makes it a truly welcome value. There is a minimum 25-card order, which makes it perfect for small groups. And shipping is free, so that’s another cost that the team is not responsible for. These are direct sale items, which means that the team buys the card upfront, and has them in hand when selling them.

Dinner and a Movie Fundraising Cards

Here’s another fundraising effort that you can use to sell to your relatives around the country. These cards offer discounts at stores, movie theaters, movie rental stores and restaurants all over the country. Your supporter goes to their computer and looks up the merchants that they’re interested in. They then print out the coupons from that merchant. They have access to the coupons for a full year. All they have to do is go to Enjoyaccess.com. Once they get to the site, they type “550” in one box, and “guest” in the second box. They’ll get a list of stores and merchants in the area that participate in the Dinner and a Movie fundraising plan.

Coffee Fundraiser Packs

Coffee Fundraiser Packs are a fun, unique take on the traditional candy fundraiser. Instead of satisfying a sweet tooth, your team will be satisfying coffee fanatics’ caffeine cravings. The backpack includes 8 delicious coffee flavors offered by Boston’s Best Coffee Roasters, and includes the following:

10 packets of Colombian Coffee

8 packets of French Vanilla Coffee

8 packets of Hazelnut Coffee

6 packets of French Roast Coffee

6 packets of Jamaican Me Crazy Coffee

5 packets of Chocolate Raspberry Coffee

5 packets of Rainforest Nut Coffee

4 packets of Decaf Coffee

The coffee packets are sold individually in $1 packets that make a full cup of coffee. Think of how the team could clean up at their parents’ offices! Any office worker would be thrilled to have an alternative to stale office joe, and this coffee is actually tasty! There’s a one case minimum for ordering, and each case comes with 9 backpacks. It’s suggested that each player sell at least one backpack each, maybe two. A team that purchases one case will end up with 40% profits. The company pays shipping costs.
