Baseball fundraising has its own unique appeal and is considered to be a truly all-American activity. Any sporting activity lends itself nicely to fundraising, and baseball is no different. Just imagine the business you can do if you can put up a stall outside a baseball stadium, doesn’t matter if its minor league or little league or even softball. You have access to so many people who have to come there to have a good time and are in the mood to spend.
There’s no dearth of stuff that you can sell as a part of a baseball fundraiser and the profit margins are very impressive. On your part, you need to ensure that you approach the job with enthusiasm and try as hard as possible to introduce an element of freshness into the whole proceedings. This is to ensure that prospective buyers have something new to look forward to. After all, yours is not the only baseball fundraiser out there and with so many of them doing the same thing, donors are likely to get bored with the whole thing.
Hot dogs, candies, memorabilia, and ice cream are wonderful items to sell outside baseball stadiums. Another cool idea to make money if you’re running a baseball league is to involve the players from the time of registration itself. The registration fee includes the price of two packs of candies or maybe a couple of sunflower seed packets. The registrants have to sell these as a part of the fundraising to recover their money or just use them. Registrants also have the option to pay a higher registration fee.
A baseball fundraiser in which you have to deal with fundraising companies should be such that you get the best deal for your charity. This means that you should look up those items that offer the best margin; pick up bestsellers; check for volume discounts; know what the returns policy is like; who pays for the transport; what to do if some of the goods arrive damaged, etc.
You can also host baseball events where you invite folks to come and pitch the ball with all their might, the hardest throw wins. You can get participants to slug with the bat, the farthest hit wins. Or you can hold a competition. Baseball is an ideal summer time fundraising activity if you’re looking for a fundraiser with a sporty flavor that will get the people involved.
