If you're fighters are like
ours... sometimes making an event can tap into the finances!
Each time we take fighter to
a tournament away from home, we all pitch in and raise money for the team
through fundraising.
Here are some ideas and links that can help your team raise money to help cover
your travel expenses!
Remember: your fundraising
is after most schools stop theirs, so it is easier to raise money!
-
Team Car Washes
(Schedule a day and all fighters
show up to help! Stores will usually donate supplies and
newspapers/radio stations will advertise for a discounted price)
-
Gym "Kick-athon"
(Fighters get pledges for how many
kicks they can complete in a specified time period)
-
Gym Raffles
(Many times local businesses will
donate gift certificates, apparel, others goods and services, which can be
used for prices in a gym raffle.)
-
Candy or Pizza Sales
(If there is not a local promotions
company, check with a local school to see who they get their fundraising
from.)
-
Fighter Auctions
(Each fighter donates him or herself
for a specific task or amount of time, to be auctioned off during a local
event)
-
Gym/Garage Sales
(Families from the gym donate items
and hold a garage sale at the gym)
-
Pizza or Convenient Store
Coupon Booklets
(Kum & Go, a chain in the midwest,
sells coupon booklets for $1 each, which can be resold for $5+ each)
-
Can Redemption
(In Iowa, we have a .05 deposit on
all cans/bottles. We have gone door to door and asked for empty cans,
which we redeem. Many times we have people give us large bags worth $$)
