Sports fundraising refers to the process of raising money to support athletic programs, teams, or events. This can involve various activities such as organizing charity events, selling merchandise, or hosting tournaments. The funds raised are often used for equipment, travel expenses, uniforms, and facility maintenance. Many sports organizations, including youth leagues and high school teams, rely on fundraising to cover costs that are not met by school budgets or sponsorships. Engaging the community through events and campaigns helps build support and encourages participation, fostering a sense of teamwork and camaraderie among athletes and supporters alike.
