During the cold season, fundraisers go into overdrive, and Bob Jones Soccer will join the rush to raise money for the team’s equipment and lower the players’ fees. This fundraiser extravaganza will consist of many things varying from Banners, Boston Butts, and Jewelry.
Do you know anybody(personally) who owns a business? Then you could ask them if they want to support Bob Jones Soccer! This would be done by buying a banner for $300 that will allow the business to be acknowledged during all home games. Other perks of buying a banner include; Social media shout-outs, the ability to distribute materials at home games, four tickets to attend home games, and a “Thank You” plaque. Make sure to connect with a specific player on the team before buying a banner as buying one with a player will not only advertise the business, but it will also greatly reduce the player’s fees. There are 9 home games this season and they are getting sponsors already so if you or someone you know want a sponsor for a game, then they must act fast and speak with a BJ soccer player to buy a banner as sales end December 6th.
Another opportunity for businesses to interact directly with the team is getting a spot on the team training shirt for $250. Again, buying one of the 24 spots on the shirt will not only be a great marketing opportunity but also a great way to reduce a player’s fees by $25. This will also end on the 6th of December. Additionally(or separately), a commercial could be purchased and played during home games. These will be $50 for ten seconds and $100 for 20.
A great fundraiser to help reduce student fees is the Boston Butt fundraiser. You may contact a BJHS soccer player and buy a Boston Butt from them. These pork butts go for around $50 and weigh 3-4 pounds. If you want a feast you can buy one and feed 8-10 people. Also, like all these fundraisers, money donated will help players with fees. Keep in mind that the Butts must be sold by the 9th of December and will be picked up on the 14th of December. You can find more information about this on the Bob Jones Boys Soccer Instagram.
The Kendra Scott fundraiser is the most fun and useful fundraiser for anyone this soccer or holiday season. If you or a loved one needs a gift for someone, consider going to Kendra Scott on the 12th or 13th of December. Jewelry such as rings, earrings, and necklaces are sold here, and they are all customizable. This is great for anybody, as rings or chains can be worn anywhere at any time, making this a perfect time to get a Christmas gift for a loved one.
All in all, Bob Jones Soccer players have high fees that could be fixed by fundraising and sponsorships. Businesses have endless opportunities to help and support the team. If you buy a small commercial or a big banner, it will inevitably lower the players’ fees and help them focus more on winning the State Tournament and less on money.
