When it comes to fund raising strategies, softball teams have many advantages over other groups: physical energy, competitive drive, and the ability to work together, just to name a few. Due to these natural strengths, this type of group tends to succeed with quick, traditional fund raisers involving the sales of sandwiches or pizza, scratch cards, or gift items from a catalogue. Of course, the fundraising opportunities for a group softball team are hardly limited to the obvious. There are many good ways for softball players to turn their athletic goals into professional objectives. Consider using the group's physical strengths by starting a car wash or hosting a special athletic event. The softball team could, for example, challenge another community group to a competition in a third sport, like basketball or touch football. This fund raising method is a quick way to attract wider community interest, have fun, and turn a profit by charging admission and selling concessions to benefit the team. Organizing a strong publicity effort will ensure quicker collection of funds, especially if the softball players can appeal to family members and friends who are willing to make donations and buy food and drinks at a fun Saturday afternoon outing. Softball teams can raise even more money by garnering sponsors to pitch in additional money if the group wins the game.
