Wait…..did you say Spring??!?!? Well .. we just launched into October and there are thoughts of pumpkin spice, crisp fall weather, football games. s’mores, and bonfires. Not spring?!?!
Well, from a planning perspective it IS time to think about spring. With only 46 days and counting for Fall sales to run and conclude, NOW is the time to think about Spring sales and those groups that could potentially run starting in January 2022.
Here are a few ideas for potential sports groups to target for next Spring:
Badminton
Lacrosse
Cheer / Dance (competition level)
Baseball
Track and field
Softball
Swimming/Diving
Fencing
Tennis
Golf
Bowling
Other clubs / groups / classes might include:
FFAMusic Department
Juniors
DECABand (jazz, wind ensemble, orchestra)
Seniors
Theatre
Chorus (choral, glee club)
OK, now you’ve identified the groups that need to fundraise. What are some needs that you can quickly identify that are needed right away? What are some upcoming events where funds are needed immediately?
