The Psychological Aspects of Little League Fundraisers

direct and pre-sell fundraisers

Being on the little league team can be one of the most rewarding and memorable times in a young child’s life. For many children, little league is their first experience with a team sport, and thus it is important for them to come out of the little league with a positive feeling of what teamwork is all about.

It may seem frightening, therefore, to know that so many little league teams rely on little league fundraising and that many of those teams would disappear if it weren’t for the essential financial help that fundraising provides. If you are in charge of the fundraising program this season, you may be worried about the potential that your efforts will not go as well as planned, or that you could let the little league team down. But little league fundraising is actually a fantastic opportunity to show the kids exactly how far teamwork extends – not just to the playing field, but into every aspect of their lives. And a little teamwork can go a long way in terms of success.

Getting the kids involved and excited is not only a good idea, but it’s also an integral part of the little league fundraising process. For one thing, kids are adorable, and when they ask the community to help their little league team out, who is going to be able to say no to that? Also, kids have a seemingly endless supply of energy and enthusiasm, and it’s contagious. The adults who are in charge of the little league fundraising should feed off of that energy and use it to propel the sales team forward.

Fundraising can be a fantastic way to show kids that their little league team is more than just about what happens when they’re playing – it’s a whole network of aspects that interact with each other and make it possible for them to play the sports they enjoy. Little league fundraising is therefore not only a good way for the team to make money, but it also helps teach a valuable lesson to both the kids and the adults about the power of sticking together for a common goal.

Baseball Scratch Card

Baseball scratch cards are one of our most profitable baseball fundraisers.  With eye-catching graphics and a simple premise, this fundraiser serves up a money-making shut out.   We will imprint your team name at no additional cost and each card can make up to 95% profit.

What You Should Know

Here is an example of the coupon page you give to the people as a “Thank You” for participating. You can create a custom coupon handout with your town’s unique businesses.

The lowest profit percentage you will make from using scratch cards for fundraisers is 85%. However,  the more cards you purchase the higher your profit potential for each card, due to volume price breaks. The profits and profit percentages shown are based on successfully having all 50 dots scratched off on your scratch card.
