W.M.C.A.A. Fund Raising Ideas

The WMCAA is a non-profit organization that is mainly funded by player fees. To help keep costs down for families, we encourage and support our athletes to participate in personal and team fundraisers.  Car washes, collecting pop cans and selling candy bars are just a few examples.

If you would like to contribute, volunteer as a Patriot Booster or would like to share with us any fundraising ideas, please contact one of the Board Members.

You can help the Patriots by participating in the following Fundraising Events:

OTHER METHODS OF PERSONAL FUND RAISING:

Common methods: (Write a letter to your friends and family letting them know you are trying to earn money for a sports season or event.  Ask them if they have jobs you can do to earn money.  That way you can meet their specific needs AND earn some money.  Be sure to let them know what you are working for, it may help them to be more generous.)

• Babysitting

• Mowing Lawns (This can be a summer long activity that could pay for your whole season or event.)

• Raking Leaves

• Yard work (gardening, weeding, side walk trimming, etc)

• Cleaning peoples houses

• Pop can drive in your neighborhood

ALWAYS be sure to tell people why you are trying to earn money, if people believe in your cause, they will often make an extra effort to help.
