Reply to "Fund Raisers"

Thought you may still be interested in fund raising so I searched the site and found this post.  Our teams (both JV and V) put on an Annual Alumni game (all former players and coaches invited). This was our third Annual event.  It turns into a large baseball fest and a 7 inning game (old timers vs recent graduated) and each year attendance from alumni, other schools, kids, you name it, have increased each year.  This is becoming a big local event. All food and drinks for our concessions stand are donated by team families.  Here is s sample of what we put on during the fest, which lasts from 7:00 AM until around 6:00 PM:  Concessions, Raffles, Silent Auctions (donated items like autographed memorabilia from former standouts or whatever), spirit wear, baked goods table, bounce house, batting cages, dunk booth, baseball toss, home run derby, cake walk, radar gun, boxing, sumo suits.  This takes an enormous about of volunteer hours from parents and the kids and we are getting better at it each year.  We also put on a little league night and sell shirts and concessions. Then we typically do a childhood Cancer night (proceeds donated to the fight against cancer).  Each of the events is manned by one or two of the players and parents through out the day. Since this is such a big fundraiser for our school, the coaches moved up the Saturday AM weight room workout to 7:00 AM and made it optional.  We are finding that the more of the little league and Cancer fundraisers we do, the more draw it brings for the Alumni Baseball Fest.
