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!

• Team Sponsorship Page
  (Each "Team" that is registered may have a "Team Page" to list participating fighter's information and offer recognition to sponsors.  I will post your sponsors logo and/or link to their website.  This will be available for a full year.  A nice 'thank you' for their donation.)

• 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 $$.  If you do not have bottle deposits in your area, you can still collect cans for the aluminum. )
