Sports Is Personal

I believe that every child and young adult should be involved in some sort of sports activity. Not only is it good for the body to get some actual exercise but it also helps with people skills. There is a real sense of camaraderie among people that play sports, whether they are your own teammates or players from the opposing team.
When my boys were kids they were interested in playing Little League baseball, which is a great sport for kids. It's a lot of work for the parents as there is always some sort of work to be done whether it is working the snack bar at the games or doing some sort of fundraising to help the team get better equipment. Let's face it, baseball bats break, gloves and shoes wear out.
A great fundraising idea for a sports team like Little League is personalized baseball bats. A fan of the team can have something great for their donations. Not all fans of Little League or Pony League games are parents. As a teenager I would often go watch baseball games being played on the local fields. I enjoy baseball and, since I could not play it, at least I could watch others having fun.
Sometimes at the snack bar I would see a jar or a large can with a sign asking for donations. Toss in your spare change or a dollar or so and feel good about helping the youngsters. Now imagine that, instead of a large jar, you could actually give the donor something physical. I should think that People would be more willing to donate for the cause this way. These personal items are not only cute but they can have your team logo on them making them quite the item!
So, your child or young adult is not into baseball? Not a problem. They also have other personalized sports items on this site, hockey,football, basketball and soccer. Very nice items at an affordable fundraising price. So, if fundraising for your team is part of your life you should check out the site and see what they have to offer you and your team.
Give your donors something tangible that they can hold in their hands as well as something personal, just for your team.
