Share This Post

When the air gets a little cooler and the leaves begin to change, it can only mean one thing: Fall is officially here! As football season slowly starts to wrap up, spirit squads begin to take their training to the next level as they prepare for competition. 

It's an exciting time of the year as routines come together and the thrill of competition fills the air. But with this switch comes some added fall expenses that teams don't always prepare for. 

This year, make fundraising a breeze with these fun, fall-themed fundraisers!

1. Plan A Fall Festival

Fall festivals are fun events for the entire school and community. Plan a bake sale and sell raffle tickets for kids to participate in fun games and activities that make you forget you are even fundraising!

2. Reuse Your Halloween Costumes

Repurpose Halloween costumes for a themed day camp! Take a Saturday and plan a princess day for little ones to come take pictures and feel like a princess for a day.

3. Tis The Season For Silent Auctions

Assign every athlete a basket and plan to hold a silent auction during your next school sporting event. Plan fall-inspired baskets filled with warm blankets and pumpkin-flavored treats!

4. When The Weather Gets "Chili," Plan A Tailgate

It's starting to get cold under the Friday night lights, and football fans love a good tailgate. Spirit programs can plan a chili tailgate for fans to join in and eat some yummy food for a small donation.

Happy fundraising, and we can't wait to see you on the mat at a competition this fall!
