2005 FSCBL 26th Anniversary TEAM Fundraising

The following ideas and information will help you plan for the 2005 FSCBL 26th Anniversary Baseball Season.  A F.S.C.B.L. Sponsor Packet, which has information for securing sponsors for advertising, uniforms, etc., is available upon request.  Use the 2005 Sponsor Packet as a guideline for establishing your own plan of action.  The 2005 Sponsor Packet is designed to secure sponsors for the FSCBL and your Team.  You can use this suggested concept to help you as an individual Player or your Team’s plans for fundraising to pay for League expenses.

 

Selling Ads for the 26th Anniversary Season Program

The 2005 Ad rates and sizes are below and enclosed in the sponsor packet.  Make copies and personally talk to potential sponsors.  Professional people, restaurants, sports shops, etc., are good targets, as well as family members, friends, baseball fans, etc.

The cost of the Season Program will be deducted from the Ad payment and the balance will be credited or refunded back to you or to your Team.  The distribution percentage for 2005 will be 65% back to the Team or Player and 35% to the FSCBL to pay for the Season Program.

This 2005 TEAM Fundraising Opportunity is by far the best way to get Sponsors involved with helping you and your team.  We have some past Season Programs to show your potential sponsors if you need them as an example of what to expect.

 

The Final Deadline for Ads is May 26, 2005.  The Season Program is distributed  FREE, as stated in the sponsor packet.

 

Sponsoring Players

Recruit your family and team members to secure sponsors through people they know in business.  Friends, family, doctors, dentists, lawyers, restaurant owners, etc. Where do you go after the Games to eat and drink? Try your nearest Beef O’ Bradys, Long Doggers, Pizza Parlor, etc. PATRONAGE means money back to the TEAM!

 

Other Team Fundraisers – garage sales, BBQ’s, car washes, bucket drops, concession sales, dinners, concerts, golf tournaments, etc.

 

Donors

Secure equipment donations from local professional teams & sporting goods stores; uniform donations from veterans groups such as V.F.W., American Legion, etc.  If there’s no money, maybe there’s something in the form of services they can do.

 

The Time is Now to Fundraise! Don’t miss this Opportunity, the results are a proven success and many Teams in the past have paid all their fees and bought uniforms this way just spending the time and effort to do it. SELL ADS for the Season Program and Reap the REWARDS!
