Dodgeball Fundraising Ideas

That elementary school game we used to play in the gym at recess on rainy days is actually an official sport for adults now! Probably due to the popularity of the movie Dodgeball, the sport of Dodgeball has leagues popping up all over the country. If your dodgeball team needs to do some fundraising for uniforms, league dues, equipment, venue rental or if you would just like to participate in a fundraiser for a good cause, there are lots of things your team can do.

One of the biggest decisions is often deciding what type of fundraiser to do. In Charlotte, dodgeball teams hold a dodgeball match fundraiser to benefit the Safe Alliance, a battered women’s shelter. In Greybull, WY, thirteen teams entered the dodgeball arena, but only one survived. The C Team outlasted the Groganslayers in the championship fundraising match to benefit the Make-A-Wish organization for whom the tournament was held. Fundraisers by other Dodge Ball teams include t-shirt sales, candy sales, car washes, and movie nights.

You can also choose from a wide variety of dodgeball DIY fundraising ideas to supplement your program. How about a Bakeless Bake Sale, Grocery Bagger, Basket Raffle, Door to Door for Pennies, or thons of every type? Perhaps one of these successful and creative ideas can be adapted for your dodgeball team fundraiser.

Balloon Bust – For this fundraiser, fill a couple hundred balloons with helium and slips of paper redeemable for prizes or cash, or (10 percent) ‘Thank You Please Try Again’. The fundraising prizes can be a free Coke if Coca Cola is helping sponsor event. You could have an early bird prize about ‘Guess The Number of Balloons’. That could go on for a couple of hours, and then the prizes start to be drawn. Read More…

Bike Scavenger Hunt – Individuals and/or teams (consisting of 3 to 5 riders) will be given a list of at least 35 sites/things around town to be photographed for this fundraiser. Points will be assigned to each photo. Each participant must furnish their own digital camera with picture review capability (Bring extra batteries!). The hunt should last three or four hours. Read more…

Weight Loss Challenge – Get your team in shape with a fundraiser like this one. Columbus, Ohio-based Big Lots associates lost a collective 1,034 pounds over a three-month period as part of a weight-loss challenge that also doubled as a fundraiser. Big Lots pledged $10 to fight hunger in Central Ohio for every pound lost during its Big Loser Challenge. Read more…
