Well, it's hard to tell what you mean by "cash awards for school". I noticed that you mentioned helping a school baseball team, so I am guessing that you mean fundraiser ideas? If that is the case, you may want to check out http://www.fundraisers.com/index.php and http://www.fundraiser.org/. Both these sites are designed to help you find the perfect fundraiser :)

You don't say where you live or teach, but I would suggest calling a locally-owned store that sells those things and see if they would be willing to donate some or all of the items. You can try asking church groups and civic groups (Rotary, Knights of Columbus, etc.), who might be willing to help. See if the local paper would do a story on the project and what is needed (call the editor). There are a lot of generous people out there. They just need to know what you need and that you need it.\n\nGood luck!

You'll have way better luck reaching them with snail mail (usps)\nYou can send a photo request to the team in c/o the player and who knows what you could receive back.

Have you approached the charter school about having a fundraiser for the kids who could not afford the field trip like your child? There is probably at least one other child facing the same problem. Also, have you approached the school about the problem because they might have some ideas for fundraising. Here are some fundraising ideas:\n\n* Bake sale.\n* Approach local businesses for donations if the school helps some with a letter.\n* Car wash in the spring.\n* Candle sale.\n* Avon.\n\nGood luck!

Ask some of your local businesses, that what most people do. Here a girl's softball team approached mine and another man's business and we contributed for Uniforms and some equipment. I even went to most of their Games and brought them Snacks and Drinks. It was fun and there many out there that will do this, IF, the team will go around and Ask and Inform the potential Sponsor(s)\nDo not underestimate the small businesses too, Heck, Bob's Bar and Grill may surprise you, or, Julie's Bouncing Animal Pet Shop. ;-)

There are quite a few businesses now that help look for scholarships and some work on specific sports such as Tennis.  So try a few of them.  If you have a good ranking a lot of colleges will seek you out also.

you could try to talk to little league headquaters and if theres not a little league already in that area try to convince them that there would be people willing to play the problem would be taht since your dealing with people that dont really have the money to pay for little league it would be a very hard thing to do but if you got a stadium out there it would be posible to start a small league on the unused feilds you would just need schedules of when they use the feilds so you don't disrupt them.(and im not entirely sure how this works so maybe cross a couple sugestions or something).  if tehre is a little league near you you might be able to raise money for the kids to enter get in with but your talking a little under a hundred dollars a kid (im not entirely sure it can be done) other then those i dont know and as for using a little leagues feilds you wouldn't be able to charge for them to play (although it dosent sound like you would really want to) since your really just playing a game and i dont think your allowed to make a profit off of it.  you would need to raise at least enough money to buy 5 helmets for every team you put toghether (one for batter 3 for runners on base and one for on deck guy) and would also need (for 4 teams) at least 2 sets of catcher gear.  starting a league like this is kinda hard because your starting with nothing to really use but you need alot.  if you can get it started maybe put out flyers and get people that may be willing to chip in and eventualy you got yourself something good maybe.  I'm not sure im much help but good luck and i hope it works out.

Your school should have a contract with someone already. Usually it is with either Herff Jones or Jostens. You might try them on your own. I'm SURE they have websites.

What I would do if I were starting a selective 14-15 yr. old team would first be to spread the word of a tryout. Talk to nearby High School coaches and ask them for any athlete contacts. Put an add in the newspaper. Make lots of phone calls. Next, hold a tryout and assemble a team. Hold practices. Sign up for games to be played and tournaments to be played in. I'm not sure of the overall cost, but you could potentially get some sponsors to help shoulder the load. Most baseball tournaments are at least 200$ per team. Next is uniforms, travel, overnight stay, etc. Good luck with your team!

How old are your friends?\nWhat area are you in?\n\nNormally any local 'senior' team will be able to point you in the direction for some feeder teams?

A salary cap would not solve the problems, it's the "Holy Grail" of baseball. Read this: http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=1345\n\nMore appropriate, I believe, is your other suggestion, a "salary floor". There is currently no incentive for some owners (Tampa, Milwaukee, for example) to spend on quality players. Revenue sharing means that a team like NY will hand out over $60 million to the have-nots of the league. So Tampa gets their cut of this and some merchandising money and a little bit of gate receipts and that's all they need to cover $30 million of salary. They can do little work, field a horrible team and still break even. Force them to carry a roster with at least $55 million in salary and they start thinking, I better put a quality team on the field so people will come watch and more money is generated.

how about season tickets to your schools basketball games along  with a school cap or jacket.

The first place to start looking for funding is your local hispanic chamber of commerce.  The commerce is comprised of business owners, I'm certain some of the members will be interested in donating time or money.  Before approaching the chamber I would compile relevant documents such as financial reports, pro-forma...etc. regarding this project.  I would also be prepared to pitch your organization.

Talk to the school. I am sure they have scholarships or grants or loan available. Can you play football? You did not say if you were a boy or a girl. Why not talk to your school consoler? If you were smart enough to get in there has to something. Please don't give up.  I wsh you all the best.
