Fundraising and Football


In case you didn't see it in our January Newsletter, we featured our top five ways to fundraise at a Super Bowl Party. With the big game just 2 days away, you can easily add any of these ideas into your Super Sunday festivities and get your fundraising started! Check it out:

  1. Organize an office/family/friend/Facebook pool. Winner gets to gloat and a donation in their name to the Challenge!
  2. Having a party? Charge $1 per buffalo wing or $3 a burger. People love their game time grub, and they will be more than happy to support a good cause while doing so.
  3. Put together a 50/50 raffle at your Super Bowl Party. Half goes to the winner and half goes to a great cause!
  4. Organize a “Touchdown Pool”. Have everyone at the party put in a $10 donation. Write names of Colts and Saints. Put them in a hat. Have each person draw one name out of the hat. If the player that they draw scores first, they win and get to have a large donation made in their name to Best Buddies.
  5. JUST ASK!!! If you are hosting a party put out a donations jar and let people know about the Challenge. If you aren’t hosting a party tell everyone what you are doing and ask them to donate. The natural camaraderie of sports is great way to encourage fellow fans to support your participation in the Challenge!
