Hi,
If your team, school, club, or league is tired of selling
the same old boring candy bars, magazine subscriptions, and
catalog items that never seem to deliver the profits they
promise, we can offer you a unique fundraising solution that
is easy to execute, fast, and most importantly, one that
really works! Introducing My Sports Dreams! – the nation’s
only sports fundraising idea designed by athletes for
athletes that can realistically help you earn the money you
need this season for travel, uniforms, equipment, and other
sports-related expenses.
While no fundraising idea works 100% of the time, we have
received some tremendously positive feedback about My Sports
Dreams from coaches of every sport at every level. We
learned that My Sports Dreams really does work! We have
heard this countless times over and over.
My Sports Dreams is incredibly simple, fast and profitable
because we know you don’t have a lot of time to devote to
fundraising. With My Sports Dreams, supporters are donating
money $20, $75 and $100 at a time. And say goodbye to only
50% profit margins that you’ve come to expect with
traditional fundraisers. You deserve to keep more of what
you earn!
Each of your players can realistically raise $500 or more
and your team can earn $7,500 or more. Leagues with hundreds
of players can easily raise much more money.
How does it work? It’s simple. Your players offer three
great benefits to their circle of supporters and request
donations in return. It’s the best 1-2-3 punch in sports
fundraising!
First, each supporter is entered into drawings every other
day for 12 months – that’s one every other day -- to win
valuable and authentic sports memorabilia like photos, balls
and jerseys autographed by famous athletes. Prizes include
popular collectibles like an autographed Larry Bird
basketball, Pete Rose baseball photograph, or a Terrell
Owens football jersey. We even let the winners choose the
prize they want from our inventory!
Second, supporters get instant access to valuable online
discounts at dozens of popular national merchants like
Amazon.com, K-Mart, Borders, and Sports Authority. These
attractive discounts – like saving $10 or more off your next
purchase – can be used anytime. And with so many stores to
choose from, your supporters will be thrilled for the
opportunity to save money every time they shop online.
Third, supporters can receive exclusive travel benefits that
are guaranteed to save hundreds or thousands of dollars in
real cash on airline tickets, hotel rooms and car rentals.
That’s right! If someone wants to donate $75 or $100, they
are pretty much guaranteed to receive their entire donation
back as soon as they book their first one or two trips.
Pretty amazing!
My Sports Dreams is fast and easy because we do most of the
work. Players get custom-written letters, envelopes, reply
envelopes and My Sports Dreams tickets. Players just hand-
address envelopes, sign letters, and mail them. That’s it!
Our custom Donor Letters are written entirely to suit your
team’s fundraising challenge. The letter includes your team
logo, pictures of athletes, a motivational quote from you, a
team profile, and a summary of the great benefits supporters
receive. Plus, at the bottom of each letter is our 4-color
travel gift offers to make sure that supporters see the
fantastic savings available to them for a $75 or $100
donation.
Wait, there’s more! We’ll even provide you with a version of
your Donor Letter tailored to local businesses. That’s a
whole fundraising campaign unto itself.
Supporters return their checks made payable to your team in
the pre-addressed reply envelopes. They can access their
merchant discounts in seconds just by activating their My
Sports Dreams tickets on our web page. To protect everyone's
privacy, My Sports Dreams does not collect your supporters'
names or addresses.
Here's the best part. Our fee is just 10% of your
fundraising campaign. That's much less than what most
fundraising companies will charge you. And, there’s never an
upfront payment with My Sports Dreams. Your payment is due
four weeks later.
We've helped teams at every level from little leagues to
NCAA champions in every possible sport raise the money
they've needed quickly, easily, and profitably. That’s why
My Sports Dreams is the official fundraising partner of so
many great organizations like the National Soccer Coaches
Association of America, Sports Tours USA, and the
Intercollegiate Women’s Field Hockey Coaches Association.
