If you’re brainstorming high school basketball team fundraising ideas, integrate Fund-Team.com to facilitate an online donation drive as part of your team’s fundraising plans.
A successful basketball team needs uniforms, shoes, equipment, transportation, and other items for play, practice, and competition. Fundraising is essential for most basketball teams because the budget provided by the school rarely covers all of the expenses.
The Best Fundraisers for Basketball Teams
3-Point Shots Contest - Set a day for ballers in the community to participate in a 3-point shot contest. A registration fee should be required and boosters can sell concessions, hold a raffle, or sell tickets for a dunking booth. Alternative contests could include a dunking or half-court shot challenge. The event should include prizes for winners, which local businesses can donate.
Free-Throw-a-Thon - This concept parallels a walk-a-thon or math-a-thon. Supporters of team members pledge a specific monetary amount per free throw scored by the athlete. Say Joaquin's grandmother pledges $2 per free throw, and he has a great time, scoring 50 free throws in the time provided. He will collect $100 from his grandmother for the team.
Team Swag - Team-branded merchandise is another great fundraiser that is easily implemented via the team's website. Teens love hoodies, water bottles, T-shirts, and other merch that demonstrate fans' passion for their team.
Fundraiser Sale - Popcorn, candy bars, fruit, plants, cutlery, gift wrap, and other products are commonly sold for fundraiser purchases. Sometimes, these sales are popular and the community looks forward to them. By including these fundraisers as part of a larger package, supporters feel less obligated to make a purchase.
Car Wash or Bake Sale - Keep it traditional with an old-school car wash or bake sale. These events work year-round, and your team can hold them frequently. The team has unlimited potential to raise funds with these options.
Basketball Day Camp - During the summer, parents always look for interesting activities to keep their school-age kids engaged with something other than TikTok and gaming. High school athletes training younger athletes is a perfect fundraising solution. A day camp can provide the space for teaching drills, skills, and more. In addition to raising money through registration fees, the high school athletes will gain a stronger sense of the game and hone their skills.
Spaghetti Dinner Tickets - Yet another fundraiser that can be one of the primary money-raising events of the year is a spaghetti dinner. Many grocery stores will donate grocery items or sell them at wholesale prices for fundraisers, and parents/guardians will donate their time. Team members can sell tickets for plate dinners.
Online Donation Drive - Fund-Team.com is 100% web-based, so teams have no apps to download in order to participate. We accept donations securely through credit/debit cards, Google Pay, Apple Pay, or PayPal.
To set up a campaign, the organizer will first sign up the team and schedule a sign-up meeting with their athletes. Athletes should collect potential supporters' email addresses and phone numbers before this meeting. During it, they'll input this contact information, and our system will automatically send emails and auto-generate a text to be sent by the student from their phone to request donations on each student’s behalf.
