Everybody hates fundraising. This has been a consistent sentiment expressed by our customers when we have tried to promote the idea of using custom soccer balls as a fundraiser for their clubs and teams. As coaches and youth soccer board members ourselves we can definitely sympathize. In fact, we recently participated in a day-long soccer fundraiser that actually LOST money after expenses were accounted for. Until now the issue with using custom balls to generate funds is that the coach or club has always had to assume all the risk and then work extremely hard to sell enough of them to justify the time. All of our organizations always need extra funds to educate coaches, maintain fields, provide scholarships to players, etc., so unfortunately fundraising will always be a necessary evil within every club and high school program.
