Some Fundraising Ideas

Alcohol is often used by sporting clubs as a prize for raffles or best player awards. Whether a slab of beer or a bottle of spirits, using alcohol as a prize can send the wrong message to club members and should be discouraged.

Here are some ideas as alternatives to alcohol prizes for players or raffle prizes. They are all relatively easy to obtain and most would cost less than $25. Naturally clubs should use connections to organisations and people in the community or with a link to the club.

• Movie tickets/vouchers

• Dinner for one/two at local restaurant

• Taxi voucher to a certain value (to encourage safe transport)

• Pewter mug

• Trophy/Medallion

• Food voucher for canteen

• Ticket to sporting event/venue

• DVD/Book/iTunes voucher

• Sports Shop voucher

• DVD hire voucher

• Haircut voucher

• Take away food voucher

• Petrol voucher

• Car clean (inside and out)

• Hampers

• Gym passes

• Session with a personal trainer

• Club clothing or merchandise (for home team)
