Fundraising

[YOCOACH]

This year we tried the Brax cups fundraiser. They come in all NFL, MLB and most major D1 colleges. This year they added travel mugs and popcorn. For $18 you get either 4 plastic tumblers, 2 travel mugs or a popcorn tub with 10 bags of microwave popcorn (all dishwasher safe). The team gets $6 for every set they sell and each player averaged 20 sales. The team brought in over $1500 with this one in 3 weeks of sales.

We have an annual Texas Hold'em poker tournament w/ silent auction items....we made about $11,000 profit last year. Every family is reprosnible to sell 10 $40.00 tickets to play (but many sell 15-20) and a silent auction item worth $100....we provide outstanding "all you can eat" food and get we adult beverages donated and it's a big party....100 plus players provide attractive prize money for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners....but the "buy-back-ins" really help add to the totals too....

can you give some specifics on the tournament? How much of the buy-in goes to the prize pool? How much of the rebuys?

Trivia nights are very popular around here. Donated items are put up for raffle, 50/50, etc. Tables of up to 10 players pay $10/person and are able to bring their own snacks. We hold it in a venue with a bar and drinks are purchased there. Ten rounds of 10 questions. Quite a bit of work and planning, but good money.

Just held our Quarter Auction last night. Just in donated items, food sales and a 50/50 the team walked away with $1300 profit and some very very sleepy 13 year olds. All in all a good night.
