Fund raising for high school sports?

They want the emails to use beyond the sports and seek fund raising perpetually from that email list.

My son needs 20 ‘units’ for a sport…but units are just how many people that donated, whether that be $20 or $100. Doesn’t make any sense.

I mean just do 20 donations at $20 a piece if it's that much trouble. You get your $400 price tag and make Jr fill out the raffles or whatever with family members names and your phone number

It's so the white privilege kids can sell more to make up for the 0 that the scholarship players will sell.

I ordered like $80 "worth" of popcorn a few weeks ago. I was expecting a truckload. It was 8 bags about the size of a bag of smart pop.

Sorry baw I'm tapped out sending Jaxxton to the World Series in Destin three years in a row.

At least it is your kid asking for the money instead of mom and dad posting a calendar on Facebook and asking you to donate the amount of money for what day of the month you pick.

My daughter does PUBLIC high school cheer. We just got the final fee bills for the upcoming year.

Returning cheerleaders pay $1,800 over five months (May - Sept). New cheerleaders pay close to $2,800 over same five months (difference in cost is uniforms... if a returning cheerleader has to buy additional uniform pieces, they pay additional on top of the $1,800).

Then, Oct - Dec we pay for nationals if we make it (we will make it... everyone makes it lol). They told us to budget $1,000 per cheerleader and $700 per chaperone (each cheerleader must bring a chaperone). Cost will be finalized later in the year.

We do a number of fundraisers. Any fundrasier you do, the cheerleader gets credited for the amount the school gets. So if you sell ads, car wash tickets, candy, whatever, the profit goes directly to that cheerleader's account. Team fundraisers such as the summer camp and fall cheer clinic they put on for young kids, the profit is split among all the cheerleaders who work those events.

Basically for each payment that is due, you can use whatever how much money is in the account that hasn't been used yet, to go towards that payment.

This seems like a decent system for us.

During the summer, school sport(s) should host:
1. Skeet Shoot
2. Golf Tournament

There are your funds.

In our case, we provided 20 friends’ emails but told them up front to ignore the emails, we just paid the amount expected up front to the team fund. I hade 14 years worth of funding payments, some overlapped, where sons played baseball at the HS and MS level.
I found out after a relative became an assistant coach that easily 25% of the players never paid a dime. Others’ donations and fundraisers essentially covered those non-payers.
