    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...

    Parents Fundraisers

    We had our first team meeting for T&T tonight. Our gym does not have a boosters program as it hasn't been successful in the past. We were told tonight that the gym is open to any form of fundraising we as parents some up with and they will help facilitate it. Does anyone have any great ideas...

    WAG Fundraiser Ideas

    Hi all! Can any of you throw out some ideas or things you've done that do well for fundraisers for gymnastics? We have done things like the laundry detergent/shower gel fundraiser, yankee candle, yard sale, car wash, & scratch cards. We just need some new ideas. Thanks!

    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...

    WAG Anyone done a "parents' night out" as a fundraiser?

    Has anyone tried a parents' night out --- watching kids at the gym --- for a fundraiser? If so, was it profitable? How much did you make? What did you charge? Share all the details you can! Thanks! PS - personally I don't think it would be worth it as a fundraiser but our parents' association...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    WAG Fundraiser idea

    I have a fundraiser idea for our hosted meet, Gymnast Bingo. Using a bingo card generator, put all the gymnasts from that session in the hat and print the bingo cards. Charge 1 dollar(?) for the cards. First one to get bingo gets a prize. Should it be a 50/50 thing or a small prize? Do you...

    I was wondering if anyone has some really good fundraising ideas that have worked or think will work? I was wondering if you could please say how much effort they took and roughly how much they raised? My gymnastics club wants to begin fundraising this year except the ideas need to mainly be...
