Hi Parents and Guardians,
Our fundraiser is officially live! You can view our team page using the link above. We’re raising support through sponsorships. Businesses or individuals can have their logo, name, or a short message featured on our team banner, displayed for all fans to see.
Parent support makes a big impact! If you’re able, please consider a sponsorship. We’d also love a few parents to join our fundraising team to help make things easier for our coach.
How It Works
Each athlete is working to bring in a few personal sponsors.
Sponsors can be friends, family members, or local businesses.
They’ll have their name or logo printed on our 8x4 ft team banner, proudly displayed at games.
Sponsors choose their support level:
$500 or more gets your large company logo on our banner with prominent placement + plus shout outs at all home games (if you’re sponsoring on behalf of yourself and not a business we can add your name in large text)
$300 or more gets your large company logo on our banner with prominent placement (if you’re sponsoring on behalf of yourself and not a business we can add your name in large text)
$200 or more gets your medium company logo on our banner (if you’re sponsoring on behalf of yourself and not a business we can add your name in large text)
$100 or more gets your name in plain text on our banner (or slightly smaller message - up to 10 words - ex. “Go Steven, we’re proud of you!”)
Want to donate a different amount? All donors are recognized in our sponsor feed on the team page!
Every sponsorship helps us reach our fundraising goal and gets us closer to a stronger season.

Our Team Goal
We’re aiming to raise $6,000 before December 23, 2025.
If each athlete gets just 1-2 personal sponsors, brings a flyer to 5 businesses (printable download below) and shares 10+ contacts using our invite tool (Sponsor Assist - located in the footer below), we’ll reach our goal easily!
How Parents Can Help
On Monday, December 8, each athlete will enter 10+ potential sponsor contacts into our invite tool (phone, email, or both - phone preferred). The tool sends a friendly invite on their behalf to check out our team page and add their name to our banner. Contacts only receive a few additional updates if they opt in and can opt out anytime.
Please help your athlete come prepared with 10 or more contacts for practice on Monday.
The invite tool is called “Sponsor Assist” and is located in the footer of both this letter and our team’s page. It’s surprisingly effective: if 30 athletes each submit 15 contacts, and only 15% sponsor an average of $150, the team would raise over $10,000. Your help makes a huge difference!
We’re also asking each team member to pick 5 businesses to bring one of our flyers to in order to get their logo on our banner in exchange for their sponsorship (printable download below).
Additional Ways to Help

Friendly Competition & Rewards
To make things exciting, 5% of the total amount raised will go toward Amazon gift card rewards for the top three fundraisers:
🥇 1st place: 50% of the reward pool
🥈 2nd place: 30% of the reward pool
🥉 3rd place: 20% of the reward pool

If the team raises $5,000, rewards will be $125, $75, and $50.
This friendly competition keeps things fun, motivates everyone to participate, and shows athletes that hard work pays off!
Additionally - the first athlete to secure 3 sponsorships will earn an extra $50 Amazon gift card!
Join our Fundraising Team
Coaches are busy and we want them to be able to focus as much as possible on the season. Fundraisers run best when parents step in to help. Even a little time or encouragement goes a long way with taking pressure off coaches and giving our athletes the support they deserve. We’re looking for 2–3 volunteers to help with:
Keeping the team motivated
Supporting the team & coach with simple tasks
Reaching out to local businesses or contacts
If you’d like to help, click “JOIN TEAM” below to add your name and contact info. You’ll be connected with other volunteers to coordinate next steps.
Let’s Make This a Success!
This fundraiser can be a huge win for our team with everyone doing just a small part.
Thank you for supporting your athlete and helping the team reach its goals!
