A bigger lift, but popular with local businesses.

Tips that raise more, whatever you pick
- Say exactly what the money pays for: "$40 covers one player's tournament fee" beats "support our team."
- Ask families to add at least 10 supporters each. Most gifts come from people who were asked directly.
- Plan three messages: a kickoff, a halfway nudge and a last-day "ends tonight."
- Celebrate milestones out loud, and let the goal grow when you reach it.
- Thank every supporter within a day, and share the final result.
