Hey guys I was just wondering what are some fundraisers everyone does to raise money. At my school we go in debt every year because we cannot charge admission to our games plus our school forced baseball and softball to join into one booster club because of Title IX. Until then I did a pretty good job of covering my bills except for umpires. My school lets that slide since we can't charge admission. Also, we play at a public park and do not have complete control over concessions. To make matters worse the park who has to give us a certain percentage of concession money doesn't give us what we are owed.
A few things we do to raise money is have Co - ed softball tournaments (they raise around $500 - $1000), powder puff football ($300 - $400) co -ed volleyball tournament ($300 - $400) and last year we had a haunted forest which raised almost $3000. All of those are good but when you have to split half with softball then that is a huge chunk of money gone there.
Just wondering if there is something other coaches do that I could start doing as well.
Thanks for the help guys and giving me a shoulder to cry on with my financial troubles.
