How VHS Girls Soccer Raised $16,602 with Fund-Team.com

About VHS Girls Soccer

VHS Girls Soccer is a high school girls soccer program that used Fund-Team.com for its 2025 annual online fundraiser. The team raised $16,602 through a donation-based campaign, with $14,430 going to the program after the 5% commission.

How the Fundraiser Worked

VHS Girls Soccer used Fund-Team.com's standard donation-based campaign model:

1. The coach or booster organizer set up the campaign page in approximately 10 minutes.
2. Soccer players joined via a unique link and personalized their own fundraising pages.
3. Players invited family, friends, and community supporters to donate by email, text, or social media.
4. Donors gave securely online — no product catalog, no cash handling.
5. Fund-Team.com sent automated donor reminders throughout the campaign period.
6. The team received payment when the campaign ended.

Outcome

VHS Girls Soccer raised a total of $16,602 through its Fund-Team.com campaign. After the 5% commission, the net amount to the team was $14,430. These funds went directly toward the program's expenses — travel, uniforms, equipment, or other costs — without the complexity of a product fundraiser.

Why This Works for School Sports Teams

School sports teams often face significant expenses including uniforms, travel, tournament fees, and equipment. A donation-based fundraiser gives community members a direct way to support these costs. Fund-Team.com's donation model eliminates the need to manage product inventory or handle cash, and its 5% commission means significantly more of each donation stays with the team.

On a $16,602 campaign, a competitor charging 25% commission would have taken approximately $4,150 in fees. Fund-Team.com's 5% meant only $830 in commission — a difference of over $3,300 that stayed with the soccer program.
