sausage sizzle at the mall or get some sponsorship prizes and run a raffle.\n\nbest thing is find a good corporate sponsor....ask the players of the team if they have friends who own businesses...they would be a good starting point.\n\ngood luck!

The path is simple:\n1.- Get a good coach. Nationality should not be an issue.\n2.- Do what they did before the world cup hosted in the US. That means make the US team play like a team. Do it for the year before the world cup. \n3.- You might need to add few new citizens to complete the team (this is called importing talent).\n\nFor the long run... 20 years: continue to do what they are doing that is:\n1) Invest $$$$ in child and junior sport development\n2) Increase the level of the national league (bring European and South American players when they are still young, not at the end of their professional life.\n3) Play more with European and South American countries as preparation.\n....\nAnd please....\nStart calling the game by it's name: \nFootball.\nGood luck!

With a lot of money. And that's before you get a ticket to a game -- if you get one.\n\nThe German organizing committee has done a good job at minimalizing scalpers. Bad news is, we won't be able to scalp. On the official ticket site, demand has exponentially exceeded supply. So if you want to go, prepare to soak up the atmosphere without actually going to games -- but that's OK, because I'm doing that. I've tried to buy tickets during the third sales phase (lottery) and fourth (first come first served) and have failed to score tickets on both occasions. Even Angola-Iran is sold out.\n\nWith the Cup in Europe, I sense that there will be thousands upon thousands of fans in Germany without tickets. England, Holland, Italy, France ... getting there is just so easy for them. So it'll be a party.\n\nAlso be prepared to spend a pretty penny on hotels. They're gouging, as the capitalist in me expects. My bed-and-breakfast room in Munich is 119 euros a night. Big hotels are charging more. Hit Frommer's and try your luck there.

Do a survey to see if people in your community would be interested - FIRST make a small sample of what your sports news paper or magazine would look like - show it and ask if they felt this would be something the community would be interested in - mention how much the subscription price would be.\n\nIf enough people are interested - Go for it! Just be sure to tally your expenses so you can estimate a fair price for your sports rag. You do want some kind of profit, I'm sure.\n\nI wish you lots of luck.

Get everyone involved call your friends and neighbors to help with the benefit. Give everyone something to do. Set a date. Make poster. You need to call your local business and ask for donation and tell them what you are doing. Have your local news paper to advertise for free.  Have a raffle on something that one of the stores give you. If you can get a florist to donate a plant you could raffle it off.  Me and two of my friends had a befit for a small boy in our home town and raised over $3000.00 We used a vacated lot  and had a huge yard sale and had all kind of activities for kids and adults to do. We even had a local band to preform and Pepsi donate a drink machine. Ask the fire department and police to get involved. Ask them to let the kids look at the trucks and cars.We even got our med helicopter to land and it was a big hit. Have a bake sale. Have someone to sell hamburgers and hot dogs. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Tell the business's you will advertise their name on what ever they donated. And have fun. Good Luck

Well, the first thing you should do is ask the owner for their blessing.  Let's face it you are going to have to tie up the parking lot as well as possibly paint lines.  They might not like that.  If you already have permission you need to look at whether you have the proper equipment.  Do you have portable hoops and balls?  You'll need money for officials and scorekeepers.  Do you have money?  Maybe you could get a local sporting goods store or restaurant to sponsor you.  You know if you made it a hoops for charity event you could probably get more sponsors.  You could collect money for entry fees, and donations.  You might be able to get the officials to do it for free.  You could pay off any fees or winners prizes, then donate the rest to charity.  Lots of people might be willing to help.  I know that Outback steakhouse donates food for charity events where I live.  You might be able to get stuff like pizza or subs too.  There are so many possibilities.  Once you get the sponsors you just have to market your event to get people to come out.

Try local stores they are usually willing to sponsor teams so long as you allow them proper advertising space on your teams uniforms etc.

Make a lot of promises to wealthy donors. Use the money to give yourself maximum exposure. Win, and then repay your campaign donors with lucrative contracts.

DONATIONS FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS -  ARE A TAX write off....   I dont know where the forms can be obtained but if a busness donates money to your cause, they can write it off as a TAX WRITE OFF....   \n\nASK small businesses to donate money for your team.  Give your team T-shirts that have every Name of every BUSINESS that donated on the back of it or something.  I own a pizzeria..  Ive sponsored teams before.

Wow you poor bastard...I've seen stories on the news about people like you, sure your kid is absolutely awesome at their sport, but the cost involved in training and competing is mind boggling! I would suggest contacting your local media: newspaper, radio, and TV, set up an account at an area bank, and just ask for donations. Everybody loves a feelgood story...and the local girl who made it to nationals but couldn't afford it will surely get people's attention. I don't even know what USTA stands for, but I'll send $20....

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.

To get more college teams involved you need to visit educational institutions and talk to the staff and the students. There are various societies within colleges that you might want to talk to who may help you raise funds. You can stage a rock concert ---- it always sells, never misses. Make it a worthwhile couse for them to taike up and take home as well. That way the message spreads even more and the funds get better and better.

find someone who is willing to coach and help out, and assistants. find financial backers to pay for the equipment.\n\nfind other teams in the area you can play against. take a poll in the school to see if people are interested in playing.

First beleive in the cause in which you wish to support.  Take time in selecting a fundraiser.  Make sure that you have others to back you in this choice.  Make sure that it is honest.  You might want to set up a special account with your bank to deposit these funds and keep acurate records of such deposits.  Don't take money from the funds raised to pay off others.\nRunning a raffel gets sticky.  You must register, have the items already to be raffeled off.  Sell only tickets or such that go specifically for that event.  You must have a cut off date for the drawing and I would suggest that you have someone other than yourself doing the actual raffel.  Please check with your state to see if your charity is eligible to become a 501 (c) 3 non-profit charity or organization.  There is a lot of paperwork involved in becoming one and there are fees too.\nHaving a garage/yard sale is an easy one.  Ask others that are interested in this cause to donate items for this sale.  You will propably have success at this type of sale. Bake sales are good, but you better have a good location to set up and have some good items (goodies) to sell (eat). \nGood luck with whatever you choose to do.\nI run a non-profit charity that raises funds by yard sales and we accept donations year round for our cause. Feeding the community is what we do.  We supply food to persons who don't have any in the area in which I live.  We have gone from feeding 11 families to over 200 in less than a year.\nOnce again, Good Luke and may you be blessed for your efforts.

Get some hot chearleaders and a band for introduction.\n\nArrive there in a special way  e.g. by car on stage, and have friends and family members placed all over in the audience with your team colors and have them cheer for you.
