Which Type of Fundraiser is Best For Your Team?
Each fundraiser has an important starting question and big end goal. Why should we fundraise? And, what is it for? Most often, coaches and players head into a fundraiser knowing what they need to accomplish but don’t know how to get there. The different types of fundraisers should be considered when heading into a new season to better understand how players will reach their goals. What does your team excel at? What will their supporters prefer? These questions are important to talk about and ask players before selecting a fundraiser.
Our lineup of fundraisers include four various types:
Gold Cards
Gold Tickets
Gold Rush (Online Donation Fundraising)
Ship-to-Home Products
