Giving Tuesday Templates for Sports and Recreation Leagues

Idea 1

⚽ Adopt-a-Player Campaign

Supporters sponsor a player for $25-$100. Create team roster cards showing each "adopted" player. Funds go toward equipment, uniforms, or scholarships while building personal connections.

Idea 2

🎯 Fund-the-Need Drive

Set donation goals for specific needs: $50 for new balls, $200 for field maintenance, $500 for tournament fees. Show live progress bars and celebrate when each goal gets funded.

Idea 3

🏃 Pledge-per-Play Challenge

Host a skills challenge day where donors pledge per goal scored, lap completed, or basket made. Cap pledges at reasonable amounts and turn practice into fundraising fun.

Idea 4

📸 Team Memory Package

Create team photo packages where families buy digital downloads for $10-$25. Include action shots, team photos, and season highlights. All proceeds fund equipment while giving families lasting memories.

Idea 5

👕 Spirit Gear Sale

Sell branded gear (t-shirts, water bottles, car decals) with team logos. Set simple pricing tiers and let supporters show their pride while funding your season needs.

Idea 6

🏢 Practice Sponsor Program

Ask local businesses to sponsor practice sessions for $50-$200. Create sponsor banners for the field and thank them in team newsletters. Easy ask, visible recognition, steady funding.
