Hi everyone!

Like some of you know, I coach a college dance team. The school gives the team a yearly budget but with 30 girls on the team it is not enough for uniforms, poms, traveling etc. On an average they spend about 30,000.00 a year.

My question is: Can you all give me some fundraising ideas other than car washes, candy sales, bake sales. You see the girls are taking care of the small ones.

I want to target big companies that would sponsor my girls from $2000.00-$5,000.00. In return, their company logos would go on our website, our poster and our camp t-shirts. For local companies they can even be available to perform at company events.

I can have a calendar made of them for 5.00 and sell them for 10.00 BUT they are telling me that I need a 5000 minimum. That is too much for us UNLESS we get a sponsor.


To see my team go to:

I am hoping that as always, TVCH can shed some light on this. I am all out of ideas.

We got wal-mart to sposor our high school girls-we did a fashion show using wal-mart clothes. It was a big hit. Maybe you can take some of the calendars there while your at it.

Any of your girls with parents who work for Exxon? They have the most outstanding matching funds program..easy way to double up what you are already doing.
What are some of the companies that are based in your area? I would try to hit them up.
Eckerd drugs was very generous to a charity I was involved in many years ago and they are located in Clearwater, Florida.

Tes-Yes we have a couple of Eckerd Drugs. I will contact them. No Exxon contacts.

Shas- A fashion show is a great idea to pitch when requesting sponsorship. I will contact Walmart as well.

Well we are doing a 2 hour variety show for friends, family and the university staff and students and we have been getting individual sponsors but we had to cancel their trip to go to dance camp.

They are also selling candy and doing the usual bake sales.

Can anyone help me with more unique ideas?
