Okay, so me and my friends are making a hockey team, but we need over 3000 dollars. We need to get sponsored but nobody will, how do you propose we get the money!?

Thanks in Advance!!!

It's tough to ask people for money.  But there are ways to set up a fund-raising project that can help raise some of the money you need, without having to resort to "begging" for cash.

Do your friends, or their parents or friends, have anything they would be willing to donate to your team that you can sell?  Basically, I'm talking about a yard sale for your hockey club, with stuff donated by everyone you can possibly ask for stuff.  Or if the yard sale idea doesn't appeal to you, you could turn the stuff around on ebay.

Another idea is a fund-raising system that I think would work well for you.  Take a look at http://www.yourorgmall.org/  Talk to your friends, their parents, or anyone who would support your team project.  Show them how they can shop for stuff they use every day anyway, and a part of every purchase will go to your team.  Get enough people involved, and this can go a long way toward your fund-raising goal.

I hope that helps.
