Booster Club Parents and Treasurers
Booster Club Fundraisers That Don't Require Every Parent to Hustle Their Coworkers
The booster club treasurer runs the math every year: how much did we raise, what did it cost in volunteer hours, and was it worth it? Candy bar fundraisers return $1 per bar on a $2 product — 50% margin — and every parent has to sell to neighbors and coworkers. Spirit gear fundraisers have better margins but require pre-orders, sizing guesses, and a garage full of unsold mediums. Custom engraved merchandise fundraisers solve both problems: no sizing required, no door-to-door, and margins of 60–80% on items with the highest perceived value.

Why they order here
Why booster club parent + treasurer teams work with us
Booster club fundraisers work best with high-perceived-value, low-minimum items that parents buy on impulse at a game table. A $2.50 keychain with the team logo sells at $10 at the gym door. A custom tumbler that costs $18.86 at 25+ units sells at $35–38. Both have strong margins, neither requires pre-ordering before production. Because The Lasercraft Co.'s real tier pricing starts at 5 units and gets competitive at 25+, a booster club can test an item with a small batch before committing to a full-season inventory run.

Model net margin on each item by retail price in /fundraising/profit-calculator. A single spirit shop weekend can fund a meaningful slice of program costs, zero door-to-door required.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
How do we run a booster club merchandise fundraiser?
Order inventory at our production cost for your tier, set a retail price above that, and sell at games, events, or via an online pre-order link. You keep 100% of the margin — there's no platform fee or revenue share. Most booster clubs run 2–3 merchandise events per season to spread fundraising across the calendar.
What's the best item for an impulse-buy table at a game?
Contour Cut acrylic keychains and vinyl stickers are the impulse buy workhorses — sub-$10 retail price, clear team branding, easy to handle at a table. Tumblers are the premium item: adults and parents buy these. Students tend toward keychains. Run both to capture two buying segments from the same table.
Do we need to pre-sell before ordering, or can we carry inventory?
Either model works. Pre-sell (collect commitments → order after campaign closes) reduces financial risk but adds overhead. Inventory model (order a batch → sell down over the season) is simpler if your booster can absorb the upfront cost. Many clubs do a pre-sell for the first run to validate demand, then switch to inventory for subsequent runs.
Can we include athlete names on the end-of-season award items funded by the booster?
Yes. Booster-funded end-of-season awards are separate from fundraiser inventory. These can have individual athlete names, season stats, or award designations. Submit a roster with per-athlete details and we produce individually-engraved items for the banquet.
