The Wrestling Calendar Fundraiser - Free Template To Raise Thousands

In late fall across America, wrestlers are hitting the mats for their high school for the first time. It’s not just high schools where wrestling is popular. Youth tournaments in June, March Matness come spring as the NCAA’s best come together, middle and elementary students jumping into things in the winter.

Wrestling is truly a year-round sport. For a year-round sport, why not get a year round fundraiser?

The wrestling calendar fundraiser is an offshoot of our popular calendar fundraiser. This wrestling themed calendar is designed specifically for wrestling teams to help them raise money whether it’s during the season, pre-season, or post-season. There’s never a bad time to run a wrestling calendar fundraiser.

Participation in wrestling is booming, especially on the girls side, where in the last decade the sports participation rate has bumped up more than 15% in the past year. While we have calendars for other sports like basketball, we wanted to create one specifically for our wrestling coaches.

What Is a Wrestling Calendar Fundraiser?

This style fundraiser is a calendar fundraiser, where you have 31 days. Each of these days represents a dollar amount. So day one is $1, day two is $2, day three is $3, and so on until we hit day 31.

Each of your fundraiser participants is going to ask donors to donate that amount and claim that spot.

If a wrestler fills their calendar, that’s $496 dollars raised. $496 raised directly for your wrestling program. Remind old school fundraisers like cookie dough? How much cookie dough would you have to sell to generate the $496 for your program? With the cut from the cookie dough company, maybe thousands of dollars of cookie dough?

That’s why calendar fundraisers and crowdfunding are so powerful. We aren’t taking a cut of your fundraiser.

If you have 10 wrestlers that fill out their calendar, that’s $4,960.

If you have 20 wrestlers that fill out their calendar, that’s $9,920.

A 100 wrestler youth program? That’s nearly 50 grand.

Now you may say, is it realistic for our wrestlers to ALL fill their calendars? No, probably not. However, to have each fill half or more? That’s definitely realistic thanks to how our calendar is built.

Why Wrestling Teams Love Calendar Fundraisers

It’s easy on the coaches. It’s easy on the fundraisers. Pure and simple.

If each player adds 20 quality contacts, that’s where our automated outreach comes in. That’s right we’ll reach out to your contacts for that wrestler’s fundraiser absolutely free. You’ll also have automated dashboards to check out your progress in REAL TIME. 

This is how Lowell Wrestling in our home state of Michigan raised over $13,000 in the offseason. In the OFFSEASON. They had kids in other sports, they had parents who were ready to take a break from wrestling season, and they still killed it with their fundraiser.

No direct sales or door-to-door pitches from kids, the kids aren’t handling any money, coaches aren’t handling counting money or manual tracking. We run your fundraiser and when it’s done we send you a check or direct deposit. That’s it!

Digital calendar fundraisers that raise thousands, even tens of thousands of dollars.

We find teams that switch from paper to digital calendar fundraising increase their fundraising total by 400%. You read that right, 400%. The best part? It’s free to run.

No matter which you decide, here are some quick tips to help boost your fundraising success. Running pen and paper? Write it on the sheet. Running a digital fundraiser? Type it in the allocated spots.

1. Add your team info, fundraising goals, and why you’re fundraising. Write your team name and most importantly how supporters can send their donation. Do you accept cash? Is there a Venmo or PayPal you can utilize?
2.  Give each player a calendar. Each player shares theirs with family, friends, and fans. The goal is to fill all 31 days with donations. This works with both pen and paper and digital.
3. Collect and track donations. Have players mark off the dates that have been claimed. Once the calendar is full, they can start another one if they are really feeling ambitious. If you’re using the digital calendar, we will do this automatically for you.

It’s that easy. Most teams run their calendar fundraiser for 2–3 weeks and are done well before the next tournament or season event, but as you’ve seen it doesn’t matter when you run your calendar fundraiser, you can knock it out of the park.
