Stay Motivated During Fundraising Season

So it's summer. Your team is just entering into the ever-so-dreaded fundraising portion of the season. 

It can be hard to stay motivated during fundraising season. We've all been there. But what if this year you made it different... What if this year you made it fun! Here are just a few tips to help you stay motivated throughout your summer of fundraising.

Make a goal Set a certain amount that your team wants to raise. Try to beat it. Having a goal makes it easier to accomplish what you set out to do.

Set a reward Along with a goal, comes an award. If your team accomplishes your set goal or more, create an award that you all would enjoy, a pizza party, team movie night, a barbeque held by your coaches, the list is endless!

Make it fun Create fundraisers that your team would actually enjoy doing. Fundraising doesn't have to be boring; it can be exciting! Car washes, grill outs, dance shows are all things that you won't have to go door-to-door selling. The more fun you make it, the more likely the team will hop on board with you!

Don't sweat the flops If you try a fundraiser and it turns out to be not as successful as you thought it would, don't sweat it! Just try something else. All of your fundraisers will not have the same result, but any money is more money! Brush off the small ones and embrace the big ones.

In most cases, fundraising will always be a reality. Make it fun and it won't have to be a dreaded part of your season!
