Ideas! - Sponsorships from local businesses: ask local businesses (not big chains) if they will sponsor you in return for business (example: eating after games), hold events there, or put their logo on team uniforms (ask team parents!!).
- Selling merch (team/school/fan hoodies, sweats, t-shirts,etc.)
- Selling things (candy, pies, frozen pizzas)
- (Brashear)– sells temporary tattoos (of school logos) at school football games and other sports events
- At the homecoming football game tailgating event– teams set up a table and sold goods (baked goods, hot chocolate)
- Sheetz coupons- low risk, high reward,
- Hosting an event (tourn, hat tourn, 5k, carwash, bake sale, bingo/poker night, yard sale, clinic for younger students)
- Host a ‘Trivia Night’ for adults (Pine-Richland made >$1000 for both girls and boys teams) - find a venue (preferably free), have food and drinks (or byob), host something similar to a group trivial pursuit game.
- Chick-Fil-A (and others like Max N Ermas etc.) will give 20% of one night’s sales to the team.
- Wendy’s will do the same as above with the total night’s revenue, not just people who mention the event.

- Flocking Game: (Hampton Crew did this) Start with pink flamingos (fake ones). The team begins by tagging or flocking one person by placing pink flamingos in their yard. They leave a nice note explaining YOU’VE BEEN FLOCKED, how it works, cost, etc. The person who was flocked can pay a certain amount to ‘flock’ someone else (neighbor, friend, family, teammates, etc) by providing money and an address. The more money you donate, the larger the number of pink flamingos appear on the target’s lawn.

| Community-- "Flocking" | Christie Lawry (christielawry@phul-ultimate.org) | Groups purchase plastic flamingos (or something else funny that sticks in the ground) and pick a couple of houses (with yards) to put them all in (about 15 per yard). Leave a note in the door that says 'You have been flocked by the X team. Leave $20 in your door if you want to flock another person's yard" Then return to the house, pick up the envelope, and keep moving to new houses. | | | My Sports Dreams | USAU (contact info on webpage) | My Sports Dreams has become an Official Fundraising Partner of USA Ultimate, the national governing body for the sport of Ultimate.
