FundraisingSchools are facing ever more pressure financially and while football is typically the sport that brings in the most money, football is also the most expensive sports program to run, and the money brought in is also used to fund other athletic teams. Some districts are facing budget constrictions so tight that they are even having to fundraise to cover travel costs. In order for a football program to reach a level and a branding in which can improve team, school, and community culture and pride being able to raise money is without a doubt one of the most important aspects of a football program.
I have lots of experience putting on fundraisers as the executive director for the UCF Sports and Fitness program I've had to lead a team of 100 plus student to put on a successful golf tournament, 5k road race, and senior banquet. All three events were a monumental success and brought in $20,000+ for the UCF Sports and Fitness program.

Ford Drive 4 UR School Event
At schools where this event is possible, it is a great fundraiser. Ford will come to your school or host at the dealership and pay money for everyone who test drives a vehicle up to $5,000 dollars. Students recruit parents, family members, community members etc to come test drive a Ford. At Clay we did this at the Ford Summer Carnival and were able to raise $5,000 dollars doing a very minimal amount of work and planning.
