Here is a great fundraiser for a basketball team….and also a way to teach the value of giving back to our youth. Have a hoops contest to raise money for a cause. Have the team choose a charity to support, then organize a free throw contest. Have each team member ask for sponsorship depending on how many baskets they make in an allotted time. For instance, in 1 minute period, a person can sponsor a dollar a basket. Make sure that the team makes it clear that they are raising money for a cause.

Kickball Tournament

Kick off community building with a good old-fashioned kickball tournament. Since most people have played it at some time in their lives, it’s easy to get people interested in reviving those childhood memories. Invite families to sign up on teams and offer prizes for the winning team. Some ideas for fundraising at the event include: getting corporate sponsors for each inning, selling t-shirts (also offering sponsorship opportunities), having a raffle and/or silent auction and selling food/drinks.
