Sports Team Fundraising - Overview
Holding a sports team fund raiser is almost as common as registering to play on the team. Most sports leagues just do not have the money to operate without raising additional funds besides registration fees.
That’s what makes sports team fundraiser ideas so important.
Below you will find three ideas we would like to propose you consider as your sports team fundraiser. We have included some ideas that are targeted to smaller groups and we have some that are geared to larger sports team fundraising.

Sports Team Fund raiser CandyA candy bar fundraiser is closely associated with sports teams. Our M&M’s Variety Pack has been our top seller for years. Each player gets one or more carriers of candy bars and sells them for a dollar each. Your profit can be 55% or more depending on the amount of candy you purchase. M&M Mars sports team fundraising is a sure hit for sports teams fundraising. |

Carousel LollipopsCarousel round lollipops are our best selling Sports Team lollipop fundraiser item. Having a sports team carousel lollipop fundraiser is an easy way to make great profits with simple to sell merchandise. Carousel rounds sell for $.50 each. You can buy as little as one case at a time and you double your money on each of the wholesale suckers! |

Sports Team Flower Bulb FundraisersMost sports seasons start either early in the spring or early in the fall. Both of those dates coincide with the optimum time to sell sports team fundraising flower bulbs. The thing people appreciate about flower fundraisers is the alternative to fattening food products. This is a pre sell fundraiser with high profits and no need for upfront money. |
When do I have to pay?
That is the #1 question we are asked by sports teams. Payment arrangements will need to be made before we can ship your order unless you are a public school issuing a public school purchase order. If payment is an issue consider one of the pre sell fundraising options that allow you to collect money as you pre sell using free brochures and order forms. Otherwise we accept Master Card, Visa and checks or money orders.
Can I return products I do not sell?
Because of the nature of fundraising we are not able to accept returns on any products. We do that for a few reasons. On food products we feel it would not be safe to accept returns of products that have left our control. Many other products are customized for your group. We have made minimum orders as low as possible and reordering as simple as possible so you will not have to order too much or the wrong product.
Do I charge sales tax when I sell?
That is a difficult question to answer for sports teams. We are not sales tax authorities and can only speak to whether we would charge you sales tax. Most states allow non profits to sell products for fundraisers without having to collect sales tax. We suggest you check with your local authorities if you have any other questions pertaining to sales tax.
Do we need to be part of a league or school to hold a fundraiser?
No, individual teams and players are welcome to participate in any of our fundraising ideas. We have many items, in fact, that are geared to smaller groups and others that are geared to larger groups.
