  • It’s not cheap to run a successful soccer Club. Associations fees, coaches, fields, referee, etc. It all adds up.
  • For many families and soccer organizations, fundraising is what keep kids playing and organizations running. (top)
  • No one likes to fundraise. Players, parents, teams, Clubs, Schools … No One!
  • Fundraising events don’t always raise a lot of money especially given the time and effort that goes into a fundraiser.
  • The same fundraisers are done every year. They are boring.
  • Friends and families feel like they are constantly being hit up for money.
  • Players don’t want to participate in their fundraisers.
  • Oftentimes, families will just pay the extra money so that they don’t need to involved in fundraising. That leaves fewer families to fundraise. (top)
