Hi guys, the gym my daughter is with does not do a lot of fundraising even though we have a huge meet we host. I have done fundraising for tons of events but, never a meet. Does anyone have any suggestions for things that sold well (teddy bears) or raffles well. Any words of advice on how to do...
This past summer, we held a tumble-a-thon that coincided with the Opening Ceremony and I wanted to share the idea with parents of the CB for those of you associated with your booster clubs.
We had our gymmies collect pledges for certain tumbling skills. We assigned each tumbling skills a...
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...
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...
We had a "design-your-own leotard" fundraiser this afternoon through Melody Leotards. She made it super easy... Sent line drawings of 6 different designs (each one could have up to 3 colors) which we copied to make "color pages." She also sent leotards in each size available, photographs of each...
Today, when my daughter got out of the shower, she wrapped herself in a towel that she got as a gift from one of her meets (which was embroidered with the meet info). This is her favorite towel in the world and she points that out regularly. I thought it was certainly a way better gift that the...
Not gymnastics related fundraising though :)
DD has been playing competitive softball this year. It sounds like next year we are going to play USSSA ball instead of ASA to give us the opportunity to stay together as a team (because they have an 11U team vs my DD and 2 others having to move...
So this year is my school's anniversary (125 years old) and one of the things we are doing is using our talents to raise money for a school building project in Kenya. Each person has to come up with an individual way of using their talents to raise money so I thought of...cartwheels. However I...

It's based on the NFL - you randomly are assigned three teams each week. Cash prizes are given for the top total scores.
Please let me know about your experience!
Hi, all! Hope everyone's gymmies are having a fun & safe season.
I haven't been around, as much, lately. It's been a difficult year. My husband is ill so I've had to work more out of the home. And haven't had too much time to chat with you all. I have checked in from time to time to read to see...
Last night at a committee meeting we were discussing how we are going to manage the funds that we are collecting to finance meet trips for the gymnasts. We are forced to travel to every meet (airfares and accomodation) so as you can imagine it gets expensive.
One member raised the point that...
Ok our Boosters are looking for a great fundraiser that will take in more than $300 at a time. It's hard to put so much effort into these things to only come away with $300 profit.
So what fundraisers have you done that bring in at least $1000. :confused:
So parents, what are your favorite and most successful fundraisers?
We've done . .
Leo rummage sale
Costume rummage sale
Comedy club night w/ Chinese auction
WonderCloths (cleaning cloths - we sell them for $5 / $3 profit)
Bake sale
We plan to do . . .
Cookie dough sale
50/50 Sheets

I have been trying to come up with ideas for team fundraising and was wondering about business sponsors - similar to what a little league team would do (except they, of course wouldn't have their business name on the backs of the girls leos! :)). The sponsors could get their business name on a...
Has any body heard about the gymnast Bella Tucker our gym is having a fundraiser for her? She is a gymnast who caught a deadly infection and lost all four of her extremities. Her story brought me to tears. It really makes you feel foolish worrying about little things. Is anybody elses gym...
ok, I came across a tidbit of information from a gym coach. She told me the other day that she "feels bad that the head coach has to be involved at all in the fundraising " (that the parents do.) At first, didnt understand, so she clarified, well "he shouldnt have to do any organization of...
If 4 of our girls (3 different levels) are scheduled to attend a specific training clinic, can our non-profit booster club organize fundraisers specifically for those 4 girls and that event? Or do the funds from all fundraisers absolutely have to be spread among all team members?
This clinic...
