Being a part of a not-for-profit organization is really hard some days! Our volleyball club runs solely on registration fees and fundraising dollars raised each season. This works out great for some teams and not so great for others. I’m fortunate enough to have a team that has been creative about fundraising. We’ve organized a fundraiser through our local jail. The jail gives us truck loads of an assortment of chopped wood for free and we can sell them for whatever we want. We’ve decided to sell each truck load for $70. I’ve asked each girl on my team to sell a minimum of one load and a max of two loads. If successful this fundraiser will raise a minimum of $840 and a max of $1,680. This money lifts a tremendous weight off of our team’s shoulders – allowing us to focus more on volleyball. I hope that future years show more support through government funding than the previous. Sports play such a huge role in a healthy society and the more you can focus on the sport and not on fundraising for the sport, the more healthy the experience!
