Sports Team Fundraising
Raise money for uniforms, travel, and equipment with raffles, donations, and merchandise sales—all in one unified platform.
How Sports Teams Use Tixoola
Here’s how a sports team (like a high school basketball team, club soccer, or even a booster program) could use Tixoola Fundraising based on the All About Deck features:
Fundraising Tools in Action
- Raffles: Sell raffle tickets for prizes (signed gear, sponsor-donated items). Fans purchase directly online, and the platform automatically tracks entries and winners.
- Donations: Offer simple donation tiers (e.g., $25 = “Supporter,” $50 = “Team Booster,” $100 = “MVP Sponsor”) so families, alumni, and community members can support.
- Merchandise Sales: Sell team-branded merchandise (shirts, hats, hoodies) right alongside tickets and raffles, with inventory managed in the same system.
- Auctions: Auction off unique experiences (sit on the bench for a game, dinner with the coach, VIP parking at the stadium).
Customization for Team Needs
- Custom Ticketing & Pricing: Teams can sell tickets to games, tournaments, or banquets while customizing pricing (student, adult, family passes, or season tickets).
- Team Branding: Use team logos, colors, and mascots so the fundraising page looks professional and school-spirited.
- Incentives: Show a live goal tracker (e.g., “Help us raise $5,000 for new uniforms – 62% funded!”). Offer badges or recognition for top donors.
Payments & Security
- Accepts trusted gateways like Square and Stripe, making it easy for parents, fans, and sponsors to pay by card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay.
- All transactions are PCI-compliant and secure.
Data & Relationship Management
- CRM Integration: Capture donor and supporter details automatically. Teams can follow up for thank-yous, newsletters, or future fundraising campaigns.
- Analytics: See which fundraising items are selling best (raffles vs. donations vs. merch) and which supporters are most engaged.
Community Engagement
- Group Fundraising: Each athlete can have their own personal link or fundraising page, so players raise money individually toward the team goal (great for travel tournaments).
- Influencer/Referral Codes: Give families or local businesses referral codes so they can help spread the word and earn recognition.
- Social Sharing: Built-in tools make it easy for athletes and parents to share fundraisers on social media.
Example Scenario
Your basketball team wants to raise $10,000 for new uniforms and travel expenses.
- Set up a fundraising page with raffle tickets ($10 each), a donation goal tracker, and team merch (hoodies and hats).
- Each player gets a unique referral link to share with family and friends.
- The team sells game tickets for the end-of-season banquet on the same platform.
