Fundraising ideas

Before the game

Our most successful Call To Arms clubs take a planned approach to fundraising, and most get started well before match day.

Some clubs set their members the challenge of raising a specific amount, or run competitions to see who can raise the most. Some ideas your players might like to try include:

• Using their Call To Arms Club Member Page to send emails to friends so they can donate online
• Placing a container at a local store or cafe to collect change
• Asking their boss to match them dollar for dollar
• Mowing a neighbour's lawn in exchange for a donation.
• Being sponsored to shave their hair or beard.

Match day fundraising

As well as selling yellow armbands to players and supporters, there are many ways to boost your fundraising on match day:

• Hold a handball/kicking competition
• Auction off donated items like sports memorabilia
• Take donations at the car park gate
• Have a collection tin for spare change at the canteen
• Brainstorm your own unique fundraising ideas with club members so everyone's involved.
