I know I'm opening this up for a lot of abuse but if I get one good idea, it will be worth it.

As you may well know, my son made the Division II Soccer Team. This is a big deal and we are really excited about it. This past Wed. we had a parent meeting and I was appointed to Fund Raising Chair.

When we discussed the cost involved, some of the parents really had a scared look. I'll admit that it may be a slim Christmas this year unless I come up a way to offset some of these cost. We have uniform, travel, coach, and tournament fees.

So any brilliant ideas would be much appreciated.

So far I have come up with this....

Several local eateries offer 10% of sales from 5-close. This is easy money with nothing lost.

A raffle for a gun. Its almost gun season for deer so I think this will go well.

Set up a radar gun at the fields and clock how fast the kids can kick the ball. Put up a board with the winners from each age group during the day. Pay $1 for 3 kicks.

I'm not so sure about that calendar. We might could have one quarter that would be worth looking at, but the other months would make you want to yack!

Get a sponsor. Those uniforms are nothing but add space. Or tell the coach to get a part time job at mcdonalds instead of paying him.
