2008 Fundraising

LadyMav Players & Parents,

Head Coach Marty Neighbors needs our fundraising efforts to raise $3500 this year to cover our assistant coaches' fees and misc. equipment/supplies. While this is a similar target to prior years, we have a greater challenge this year. We depend on our concession stand sales to raise about a 1/3 of the funds, but our sales are projected to be significantly lower due to less home games (7 vs 10), and the bulk being in the slower cold months.

Rather than adding MORE fundraisers, our plan is for each and every player/parent to do their share with the few major ones that are planned. Your personal involvement and focus will make a huge difference for the team -- every little bit helps:

* Concession Stand -- Need a parent from each family to sign up for one home game
* Silpada Jewelry fundraiser -- Each player to get 2-3 average orders, $150 in total retail sales (or $40 in direct donations, e.g., personal bottle drive, etc.)
* Team car wash & Team bottle drive-- All players needed; dates TBD
The Silpada jewelry fundraiser is off and running!

Each player received their packet last week. This is the ONLY individual fundraiser planned for the team this year. KEEP IT SIMPLE!! Unlike other teams which depend on players getting 10-20 orders (selling coupon books, raffle tickets, cookies/candy), we try to keep this quick & easy by asking each player to only get a couple orders or direct donations -- 25% of the jewelry sales will go to the team, and players can earn nice prizes for their efforts. See the packet for details.

The Silpada fundraiser ends Wed. April 2. Contact Lila Yee Allward at 248-685-7713 or lyeesilver@aol.com if you have any questions. Good Luck!

Thank you in advance for your contribution to the team!!

Lila Yee
