    For Parents Fundraising.....new mom needing advice

    I am new to the gymnastic world. After a year of having my daughter be involved, I realize how expensive it is. I am currently trying to come up with fundraisers to help the gymnasts. I am having a hard time starting fundraisers, getting people involved, coming up with fundraisers that we could...

    WAG Fundraising and 501c3 (ugh)

    Just a quick question. We are looking into doing a fundraiser soon and know because of our not for profit status, everyone benefits regardless of participation in the fundraiser. We are hoping to use this money to help off-set coaches fees/meet fees the parents pay. Our idea is to split the...

    For Parents Looking for fundraising & auction ideas

    Hello. I know there was a post on this a while back, but as the search feature isn't working for me I can't seem to find it. Regardless, perhaps by creating a new thread we can generate even more ideas. I'm looking for fundraisers that our booster club can sponsor. Specifically I'm looking...

    For Parents In need of fundraising ideas.

    Hello! My daughter has been on team at our gym for 4 years. Her first year we did a few fundraisers to help out with the cost, but not much since then. I have taken it upon myself to start up some fundraising. Our gym is fairly new and we do not host any meets, so that is out. We had a parent...

    WAG Pros and Cons of Raffle fundraising?

    We don't have a booster club. We are looking at around $400 in apparel costs this year. I'm considering a raffle where parents donate items, then we sell raffle tickets for the items. The kid keeps the money from the tickets that they sell. Has anyone done this? How did it go? Any...

    I was just asked to take over fundraising for the booster club. I'm glad to help out, but I know nothing about fundraising. Any suggestions out there?

    WAG Question about fundraising

    First of all, Hi! I've been around CB for awhile but am only just now brave enough to post. :) Second, forgive me if this has been discussed before. I tried searching but came up with nothing. Ok, my question. So you may be familiar with the website GoFundMe, which allows people to set up...

    For Parents Question for parents about fundraising

    Hi. My daughter's "graduating" from developmental and moving to team this June, so all this fundraising stuff is new for me. We chose for her to enter the fewer hours excel- type program. However, our families commitment for volunteering and fundraising seems to be the same as everyone else. Is...

    WAG Fundraising Ideas

    I'm curious to know what, if any, types of fundraisers do team girls/gyms do throughout the year to raise funds for competition fees. We have done things like raffles, selling pastries, and working at local restraints busing tables for tips. I'm really looking for ideas for the girls which...

    For Parents What do you think of this fundraising?

    The gym gave out fundraising packets to everyone......not just team butvrec classes also, to participate in fundraising for new equipment. This is a gym club that is for profit, owned by a private person. It just seems wrong to ask your customers to fundraise for new equipment. Isnt that what we...

    I know there are some other fundraising threads floating around, but as this is referring to a HS team rather than a club program, I am hoping some posters can offer some more specific ideas. Our team is in need of matting to comply with HS regulations and the school district is unable to pay...

    Coming up with a fair fundraising split

    My wife just received our end-of-year statement from the gym's booster club and she's a little upset. My daughter worked very hard on fundraising, being one of the top fundraisers each time there was an event. At our gym, everyone that reaches the minimum established for the fundraiser (i.e...
