It’s September and that means football season. My oldest son is playing Pop Warner football.
This year I signed up as Team Mom.Yikes! I didn’t know what I was in for. On top of all the paperwork collecting, fundraising is a huge part. We provide all the players with game socks, a hat, sweatshirt and end of the season banquet, so fundraising is necessary.
Of course we got busy finding sponsors and planning snack bar events but we also needed a way to think outside the box (or I guess you can say field).
That’s where the Touch Down Bucket came in. We decided that every time our boys scored a touch down, several of the moms would run down the field, shaking cow bells and collecting cash for our players.
But, of course we needed a cute bucket to collect the money. I swung by my local craft store, bought letter stickers and a bunch of ribbons in our team colors, bought two buckets off of Amazon and got busy decorating.
For a boy mom, I’d say these turned out pretty darn cute. I think even the cheerleading moms would be impressed.
AND, they double as 50/50 ticket buckets too. On our opening day we were able to make $160 just from our 50/50 raffle.
You can also adapt this for any sport your child plays. You can use a “Goal Bucket” or “Home Run Bucket” etc.
