FundRaising:
Give
Your Fundraising A "Boost"
|
Does your football team need money for new uniforms, renovations
to your home field or an end-of-the season award dinner? You’re
not alone. Juggling traditional coaching duties with fundraising
responsibilities is a major concern for coaches. Imagine forming
an organization that exists primarily to raise money for your squad.
They would strategize and implement fundraising programs to pay
for necessary expenses not covered in your school’s budget.
Booster clubs are groups composed of parents, alumni, businesses and other supporters
of your football team fundraising on your behalf. A well-organized club allows
you to focus attention on coaching your team rather than on raising money. Appoint
interested parents to executive positions within the club and make them responsible
for achieving your fundraising goals. A successful football team is led by a
superior coaching staff. Motivated leaders are also necessary for a profitable
booster club.
Need help getting started? The National Booster Club Association is a non-profit
organization that provides support and guidance to high school and college football
teams. For more information call 509-735-2878, or visit www.boosterclubs.org.
