I'm surprised they asked for donation. We certainly do a lot of fundraising and "donate" that way, but never asked for a hand out of cash.
- We have an annual social, that is combined with our little league. Tickets, raffles, etc
- Bake sale in front of local grocery store
- Boy coach at little league clinics over the winter
- Car Wash
For my daughter's softball team, we wanted permanent fencing and a trip to FL. On top of the above we held a couple of golf tournaments and we work concessions at the UCONN Football games.
These raise a good amount of money, we've contributed nothing close to $700. Sounds like a poorly run team...maybe you should volunteer as the Booster President
