I coach my daughter's 8 year old softball team. We are trying to get an early jump on our up and coming 2015 season we are in the Knoxville area. We've been trying to come up different fundraising ideas. I nor any of the parents want to be the "people" washing cars on the side of the road. The teams name is "SWAT". I've hit up a couple of the local tactical stores in the area with no luck. I was hoping that some of my arfcom peeps have some better ideas to help out these girls. Thanks!

It's fall so maybe they could go out and rake leaves.

Wish I could help, team I helped with tried football squares, I bought a bunch of paracord for them to make/sell bracelets, neither really worked (was for a travel team, so the team trained/played pretty much year round).

Just thought of a couple... if the park or league your team is based out of its a non profit,  some restaurants will let you have a team night where guests can drop their receipts in a bucket and the team gets a small percentage of the take, or similar fund raising programs.   Sold candy bars and Krispy Kreme donuts for different organizations in high school.

We did something like that for the family of one of my team mates that was KIA. Outback did a special lunch where all money taken in was given to a collage trust fund for his kids.

Just a thought. We have automatic car washes all over town and they have the DIY tire/rim prep area outside. That maybe a doable task for an 8y/o for tips or whatever.

Been a while but when son payed ball, one of the fathers had a big competition smoker. Team parents pre-sold cooked pork butts. Double the cost of raw butts and made $$$$. Was a lot a work for a few of us dads tho. Be sure and have selling parents arrange delivery or pick up.
