Like it or not... for most hockey teams, fundraising is part of your hockey season. Hockeymom.com is happy to provide you with some fundraising ideas that we hope will make your search for ideas a little easier.
Getting Started
To start fundraising, your team should meet at the beginning of your hockey season:
Determine team financial goals - How much money does your team need for the year? Put together your budget. Include items such as; extra ice time, team socks, tournament costs, year-end parties, hats, jackets etc. Check out our sample budget.
Agree on Fundraising activities - Put all your ideas on the table and then decide on how many fundraisers your team will need to meet your financial goals. Review the ideas below, contact fundraising companies and draw on parents past fundraising experience. Fundraising Companies
Determine Individual fundraising responsibility - How will you make fundraising fair on your team? Some parents will be very motivated to fundraise and some parents will not want to fundraise at all! This should be determined up front to avoid any conflict mid-season.
Fundraising Committee - Put one or more parents in charge of fundraising activities. You can assign one person for all fundraising or assign a different parent for each fundraising activity.
