Booster club fundraising is an ideal way to raise money for the sports programs at your local high school. Booster club fundraisers are also big business at colleges around the country. Through their fundraising activities, booster clubs help lure star high school athletes to their football, baseball, and basketball programs every year.

There are some fantastic booster club fundraising ideas available to planners, other than the typical candy fund raisers. Take Iron Man miniature golf tournaments. You reserve a miniature golf course for your group and have each participant ask people to sponsor her per hole she plays. Then, its up to you to run the tournament just like an Iron Man competition, except you play on the miniature golf course. Play 100 holes or as many as you can in two hours. Students can raise $100 by just getting 10 people to sponsor them at .10¢ per hole.

Booster Club Fundraising: Students versus Teachers
Hands down, one of the more exciting booster club fundraising activities you can set up is a student versus teacher sports match, like softball, touch football, or basketball. Many students sign up to play, and the coordinators decide fair teams based on athletic ability.

In the case of basketball, students play each other in 10-15 minute games in a tournament. The team that wins the tournament plays a team made up of teachers from the high school. Both teachers and students seem to love it, as theyre always planning practices ahead of the big day.

Groups, clubs, and non-profit organizations find that magazine fundraisers are a fine way to raise money for their specific cause. In fact, each year remarkable sums of cash are generated by magazine drives. If youre wondering how to get involved in these fundraising projects, you should either ask around for feedback or venture onto one of the many websites dedicated to fundraising.

Magazine fundraisers have proven time and time again to be profitable, easy, and risk-free ways for schools, PTA groups, booster clubs, school bands, sports leagues and a host of other non profit youth groups to raise money. Oftentimes, these groups have offered great products like Sports Illustrated , Time, Newsweek, and National Geographic to family, friends, neighbors, and business associates.

Magazine Fundraisers and Prize Programs
Oftentimes, companies that run magazine fundraisers will incorporate prize programs. These are especially great motivators for young people. Over the years, a cumulative prize program has proven itself to be the best in getting participants more involved; they also allow the individual child to earn more prizes as he or she sells more magazines.

The goal behind prize programs is to get kids to sell, sell, sell their little hearts out. They have proven particularly effective among younger children. It is a good idea (and recommended) for parents to help younger kids chart their course, in terms of their target clients and sales.
