Fact:
You don’t want to run the same, boring fundraiser as everyone else.
So let’s look at 5 ways I’ve seen teams ‘spice’ up their Teamfi fundraisers:
1. Turn Your Team’s Donors into ‘Sponsors’
Peotone Football had an interesting idea:
Let’s turn our Team’s Donors into Sponsors

2. Donate Community Service Hours
You can also use your fundraiser as a way to give back.
And that’s exactly what Lowell Softball did.

They state on their donation page that they’ll be donating 2 hours of community service for every $1000 donated

That’s a win-win!

3. Be Incredibly Intentional with your Ask
When so many other teams just ask for money, you can ‘zig’ while they ‘zag’ by just being intentional with your ask.
North Duplin HS Football in Calypso, NC did this to a T.

Be Intentional.

4. Convert to an A-thon
Perhaps you want to mix up your fundraiser’s style entirely?
If that’s you, try converting it to an A-thon.
That’s what Chelsea HS Football did, and they cleared $40K.
Find out how in the tweet below:

Their lift-a-thon is on track to raise $45,000+

5. Make a Clever Campaign Video
Adding a face & name to your team’s campaign never hurts.
NTX Tribe Baseball understood this so well that they made a video for their fundraiser.
And it worked beautifully, raising their 11 kids $5,500.
Watch their video yourself below:
