Participating in a sports tour can be expensive depending on the destination, the mode of travel, and the unavoidable social activities. For that reason, it never hurts to lower the cost of a sports tour a little more to ensure that money is not an issue for any member of the team. Fundraising can also be a great team building exercise because everyone in your sports club is working together to raise money for your sports tour.
Each player and supporter of your sports club has individual talents, skills and abilities. Host a brainstorming session to find out what they are and put them to good use for your fundraising activities. Unusual events often work best to attract sponsorship and publicity, so get creative!
To get started, come up with a fundraising plan, set an achievable goal, and make sure you have fun while you fundraise.
