Answer the three questions and we'll call your plays.
Athlete Fundraising
Peer-to-peer campaigns where every athlete gets a page
Athlete Fundraising Blitz
Every athlete personalizes a fundraising page and adds trusted contacts by email or phone. Sports Supporters then runs the team's scheduled outreach automatically, while the organizer controls the timing and optional social sharing adds even more reach. The single highest-ceiling play for almost every team.
Travel / Tournament Campaign
Athlete pages plus a team goal sized to real travel costs: flights, hotels, entry fees. The standard play for travel and club teams.
Sponsor-a-Player Board
Donors 'adopt' a specific athlete's season at a fixed amount, and the roster board fills up name by name until every player is covered.
Spring Mulch Sale
Preorder bagged mulch online all winter, then the team delivers it in one epic Saturday. Booster clubs routinely clear $10,000-$60,000.
Athlete Product Sale
Pick one proven product and give every athlete a tracked sales page and a clear quota. Sports Supporters runs the organizer's scheduled contact sequence while individual totals and a leaderboard keep the roster moving.
Local Discount Cards
Sell discount cards loaded with deals from 10-15 local businesses. Businesses join free for the exposure; the team keeps nearly everything.
Donations
Direct giving drives: pledges, recurring memberships, and one-time appeals
Alumni Giving Campaign
A campaign targeted at program alumni: former players give back to the team that shaped them. Pairs perfectly with an alumni game or homecoming.
Recurring Booster Club Membership
Turn one-time donors into monthly or annual members with named tiers and small perks. Predictable, year-round revenue instead of one-off spikes.
Fund a Specific Need
A single-purpose campaign for one concrete, photographable thing: new uniforms, the bus to the tournament, a pitching machine, the hotel block. Donors fund the thing, not the budget.
Gear Fund
List the exact equipment your team needs, like "12 game balls, $35 each," and let supporters fund items directly. Each item shows live progress, and every dollar goes to buying that gear.
Parent Pledge Drive
A direct campaign to team families: instead of selling wrapping paper, parents simply give what they would have spent. 100% to the team, zero product hassle.
Team Donation Campaign
A single shared donation page for the whole program, the simplest possible campaign, plus its game-day activation: QR signs at the gate and concessions with an announcer ask. Great as a permanent 'support the team' link.
Playoff Run Campaign
A fast urgency campaign the moment your team makes the playoffs: travel, gear, meals, and tournament fees, funded by playoff excitement.
Calendar Drive (Pick-a-Day)
Day 1 is $1, Day 30 is $30 - supporters pick the day(s) they'll cover. A dead-simple donation drive that quietly adds up to thousands.
A-Thons
Activity-based fundraisers with per-unit pledging
Sport-Specific A-Thon
Supporters sponsor a published activity target tied to the sport (laps, hits, serves, pins), and athletes perform during a team event. Contributions are paid upfront from the target, so there is no post-event collection chase.
Community Walk-a-Thon / Fun Run
Open the a-thon format to the whole community: anyone can activate a page, accept target-based contributions paid upfront, and participate in a team-hosted walk or fun run.
Serve-a-Thon
The team pledges a day of community service (park cleanup, food bank, senior yard work) and supporters pledge per hour served. Goodwill and money in one move.
Sponsorships
Local business and community sponsor campaigns
Team Sponsorship Drive
One structured campaign to fund a game, a stretch of home games, or the full season with local business money. Offer a clear ladder from a single-game sponsor to multi-game packages, banner placements, and one top presenting sponsor.
Capital Project Donor Wall
Fund lights, dugouts, locker rooms, training space, accessibility work, or another lasting facility upgrade with business recognition tiers and a community donor wall. Unlike a single scoreboard sponsor, this play lets many families, alumni, and businesses own a visible piece of the project.
Game Day & Programs
Raffles, QR drives, programs, and senior night
Senior Night Program + Tribute Ads
A keepsake program for senior night: senior spotlights, family tribute ads, sponsor recognition, and a donation CTA. Families pay happily for tributes.
Prize Basket Raffle
Families and businesses donate themed baskets; supporters buy entries online. A proven add-on that boosts any event by a few hundred dollars.
Concession Stand & Bake Sale
Open a free register on volunteers' phones and run the stand: cash with drawer reconciliation at close, plus a no-hardware QR so card buyers pay on their own phone. Link it to a game-day program and fans can order without leaving their seat.
Events
Banquets, outings, tournaments, clinics, and dinners
Golf Outing + Silent Auction
The flagship booster event: foursome registrations, hole sponsorships, contests, a silent auction, and a raffle, stacked into one day that can fund half a season.
Booster Banquet + Auction
The end-of-season banquet doubled as a fundraiser: tickets, a silent auction of donated items, a raffle, and sponsor recognition in one celebratory night.
Host a Tournament / Invitational
Host visiting teams for a tournament: entry fees, gate admission, concessions, program ads, and sponsors. Your facility becomes the fundraiser.
Summer Camp
A multi-day summer camp run by your coaching staff and athletes. The biggest-ticket version of the clinic, often a program's largest single revenue source.
Online Auction Week
A standalone week-long online auction of donated items. No venue, no catering, just bidding from anywhere.
Youth Clinic
Your athletes and coaches run a paid skills clinic for younger kids. Revenue today, future players and fans tomorrow.
Alumni Game
Alumni return to play the current team or each other: entry fees for alumni, gate admission, concessions, and a built-in alumni giving moment.
Community 5K / Fun Run
A community 5K hosted by your program: race registrations, shirt sales, and race sponsorships. Run it straight, or as a themed edition, color powder by day, glow gear by night. Especially natural for running sports.
Team Dinner / Pancake Breakfast
A ticketed community meal served by your athletes. Spaghetti dinner, BBQ, or pancake breakfast. Low cost, high turnout, very on-brand for boosters.
Trivia Night
An adults-night-out trivia event: table entries, a raffle, and a small auction. Cheap to run, popular with parents, very repeatable.
Cornhole Tournament
A bracketed cornhole tournament - cheap to run, hugely popular with parents, and a perfect pairing with a raffle and sponsors.
Used Gear Swap & Sale
Families donate outgrown cleats, sticks, pads, and bags; the team resells them cheap at a preseason event. Zero cost of goods, pure margin, and new families save a fortune.
Esports Tournament Night
A bracket night on the school's gear or players' own consoles: entry fees, spectator tickets, concessions, and local sponsors who want to reach teens.
Trunk-or-Treat Festival
Families decorate car trunks in the parking lot, kids trick-or-treat car to car, and the team sells family tickets, sponsor spots, and concessions.
Restaurant Night + QR Capture
Partner with a local restaurant that donates a percentage of one night's sales, and capture direct donations with QR signs while the crowd is there.
Car Wash + Digital Tips
The classic team car wash, run honestly: it's a visibility and team-bonding play that nets a few hundred dollars, and QR tipping is what keeps it worth the morning.
Products & Seasonal
Spirit wear, signs, calendars, and seasonal sales
Holiday Gift Catalog
Run one focused holiday sale using either Sports Supporters' direct-ship catalog or locally sourced wreaths, poinsettias, greenery, baked goods, and gift bundles. Choose the fulfillment path that fits your volunteers, margin, and deadline.
Spirit Wear Preorder
Preorder team apparel online (shirts, hoodies, hats) and order exactly what sold. No inventory risk, no money collection hassle.
Yard Signs
Sell 'Proud your team Family' or player-number yard signs. Cheap to produce, beloved by parents, and free advertising on every lawn in town.
Senior Banner Sale
Personalized photo banners for each senior, purchased by families and displayed at the venue all season, then kept as keepsakes.
Team Calendar / Photo Sale
A team photo calendar with the season schedule and sponsor logos on every month. Sold to families and gifted to grandparents.
Media Day Poster Sale
Schedule posters and player cards sold around picture day, when families are already buying photos. A tidy add-on play, not a headliner.
Ship-to-Door Team Shop
Launch a direct-ship themed shop with candles, puzzles, socks, mugs, and seasonal gifts. No inventory, packing, delivery run, or cash collection.
Valentine Team Grams
Sell simple Valentine candy, flower, or team-spirit bundles for one organized pickup window. If your school approves classroom delivery, collect recipient details with a separate organizer form and match them to paid order confirmations.
Fan Pack Sale
Bundle small spirit items (pom, decal, button, rally towel) into a $15-20 fan pack sold at games and online.
