Since 2022, Foothills Navy League has returned to TeamFund to fundraise with food. They have returned for a Fill Your Freezer 2-3x per year, raising $4500. These funds directly support the purchase of uniforms, keeping camp costs low, and exciting extracurricular activities for cadets. 

Your youth program can do it too!

About Foothills Navy League

Based in Langdon, Alberta, the Foothills Navy League is dedicated to shaping today’s youth into tomorrow’s leaders. Through dynamic, nautically themed cadet programming, they serve youth aged 9-12, fostering essential life skills in a supportive team environment.

Meeting weekly from September to June, the program offers a wealth of opportunities for youth to build skills, make friends, and have fun. Their mission is to promote leadership, citizenship, self-discipline, and respect for others, preparing cadets for positive futures.

Fundraising with Food: The Fill Your Freezer Advantage

Keeping program costs low for families ensures that participation in cadets is accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation. To fund uniforms, keep camp fees low, and provide incredible extracurriculars like scuba diving, sailing, swimming, and more, the league actively offers various fundraising opportunities for families throughout the year.

One fundraiser that they have consistently returned to since 2022 is TeamFund’s Fill Your Freezer fundraiser. The league runs this tasty fundraiser 2-3 times per year to raise funds with ease. Over the years, they have raised between $1100 – $1500 by filling their freezers:

This Spring, they’ve added another $508.65 toward keeping costs low and providing a great experience for their cadets and we can’t wait to see how the Fall goes!

ALL TIME RAISED: $4500

In return, the league earns an average of 20% profits back from every purchase to directly support their cause.

Mountain Shadows Gymnastics Club has empowered their athletes to reach new heights with food fundraisers. Since 2023, they raised $4225.49 with TeamFund’s Fill Your Freezer to support competition season and provide an exceptional sport experience.

Your gymnastics club can do it too! 

About Mountain Shadows Gymnastics Club 

Mountain Shadows Gymnastics Club is a privately owned gymnastics club offering top-tier recreational and competitive programming for youth athletes. 

The owner, Jim, founded Altadore Gymnastics Club in Calgary and opened Mountain Shadows Gymnastics in 1996 to offer gymnastics programming to the Okotoks area. 

Their annual competitive program runs from July to June, with gymnasts attending local meets in Alberta and British Columbia, and even travelling to the USA to compete. Gymnasts from Mountain Shadows have consistently earned gold medals and provincial titles, fostering a team environment that feels like family.  

To help offset the costs associated with competitive gymnastics, such as meet fees, specialized training camps, rent for their facility, and coach wages, the club runs several fundraising initiatives throughout the year. 

Funds generated by parents go directly back to benefit their athletes, helping to alleviate expenses and ensure a positive, accessible gymnastics experience for all. 

Competitive Gymnastics Fundraising Made Tasty

Competitive gymnastics can have a financial barrier for families, which is why Mountain Shadows Gymnastics has partnered with TeamFund. 

Over the last three years, they have run a Fill Your Freezer fundraiser to directly support athletes’ journey to success. 

This Spring, Mountain Shadows Gymnastics Club raised $1,546 for their competition season.

Parents love the convenience: they can easily stock up on tasty, high-quality food they’re already purchasing at the grocery store, like bacon, burgers, steak, chicken, and more.

In return, the club earns an average of 20% profits from every purchase for athletes and club expenses.

Flip to Success: TeamFund’s Easy Online Food Fundraisers

Gone are the days of tedious paperwork and manually collecting money!

Mountain Shadows Gymnastics found the club process efficient and easy. Since the fundraiser is hosted online, all they have to do is share their fundraising link for family and community members to shop and support their cause.

Pegasus Gymnastics has returned to TeamFund food fundraisers 4 times to raise $5907.70 since 2018, with over $4400 raised just in 2024! These funds help cover competition, coaching, and equipment costs.

Your gymnastics club can build fundraising momentum too!

About Pegasus Gymnastics Club 

Pegasus Gymnastics is a proud family-owned and operated gymnastics club with two thriving locations in Calgary, Alberta.

From kindergym for the youngest athletes to challenging recreational classes and elite competitive programming, Pegasus offers a family-friendly and safe environment staffed by certified coaches at every level.

They believe in supporting every athlete’s unique journey. Any goal, from foundational skills to competitive aspirations, can be supported through their diverse programming.

Coaches, athletes, and parents work together as a team to make the pursuit of goals fun, challenging, and efficient while prioritizing the mental, emotional, and physical health and wellbeing of every participant.

Fundraising for Competition, Coaches, and Equipment with Tasty Locally Sourced Food

Competitive gymnastics is an incredible opportunity to develop not only their gymnastics skills but independence, dedication, and a deep passion for the sport, but it comes at a cost. To ensure Pegasus athletes can reach their full potential and compete in Canada (and beyond), Pegasus Gymnastics has partnered with TeamFund four times since 2018.

By offering a popular Fill Your Freezer campaign, complemented by rotating local favourites like Coco Brooks Pizza and Cookies and Simple Simon’s Pies, parents and the wider community can stock up on high-quality, locally sourced groceries they’re already buying.

Parents love the convenience of buying tasty food like bacon, burgers, steaks, chicken, perogies, and more while directly supporting Pegasus athletes.

In return, the club consistently earns an average of 20% profits from every purchase with funds going directly toward offsetting competition fees, covering coach wages, and maintaining top-tier equipment.

Gymnastics Fundraising Made Easy

With TeamFund, Pegasus Gymnastics has had great results with food fundraising.

In just four campaigns with TeamFund, Pegasus Gymnastics has raised $5907.70 since 2018, with their most recent fundraisers contributing the most: 

• Spring 2024: $2,749.50
• Fall 2024: $1733.90 

… with earlier campaigns in 2018 and 2020  contributing the remainder. 

Anna, one of their parent fundraising organizers, shared this kind review:

Organizers have changed throughout the years, a testament to the ease of the fundraising process with TeamFund.

We take care of the entire online fundraising process, from handling online sales and detailed reporting to providing ready-to-use marketing materials, such as social media templates and posters. 

Our fundraising expert is here for you every step of the way! All you have to do is share your fundraising link and gather a few volunteers to organize and hand out boxes on delivery day. 

This frees up precious time to focus on what matters most: empowering your gymnasts and connecting with the community.

From 2021-2024, Stettler Hockey has raised over $43,000 with tasty and profitable bacon fundraisers! 

About Stettler Minor Hockey Association

Stettler Minor Hockey Association is a hockey club in Northern Alberta that is making its mark in competitive hockey.

With a population of just under 6000, the club boasts over 20 teams, bringing the sport of hockey to youth aged 5-17 in Stettler. 

Not only that, but their home rink, Stettler Recreation Centre has hosted several tournaments for Northern Albertan teams.

Behind the scenes of the club’s success are dedicated parents, volunteers, coaches, athletes, and board members to make these exciting games and events happen. 

Stettler combines the love of hockey with the love of bacon for a hugely profitable fundraiser every year, partnering with TeamFund. 

Keeping Minor Hockey Affordable with Bacon Fundraising

We had the opportunity to meet with Tersha, Stettler Hockey’s current Fundraising Director just before their most recent fundraiser wrapped up this Fall!

Hockey is an expensive sport, so fundraising is critical to keep the sport thriving and affordable in the area.

Parents who participate in the Bacon Fundraiser are able to have the funds they raise allocated towards their volunteer bond requirements.

With the funds, the club is able to pay for ice time, equipment, jerseys, tournaments, referees, player development, and any other administrative costs that come up throughout the season.

This is Tersha’s second time running the Bacon Fundraiser and Stettler Hockey is thrilled to have found a fundraising formula that works!

“It was fantastic. I would do it again in a heartbeat. The quality of the product was amazing and the delivery was on time. The communication from TeamFund was great and the fundraiser was well-coordinated!”

This year, Stettler Hockey raised $13,148 for their organization. Read the story!

TeamFund Makes Fundraising Easier!

For the last 2 years, Stettler Hockey has been able to raise over half of their annual fundraising goals with TeamFund.

Parents LOVE how tasty and easy the fundraiser is, making it an easy sell.

The organization has previously held several fundraisers throughout the year, but the Bacon Fundraiser has made reaching its fundraising goals easier than ever! 

Stettler Hockey shows that a small town can harness community support for big results!

They have raised $41,893 with TeamFund since 2021 to help offset hockey costs. 

Even though the fundraising director has changed over the years, the club has managed to raise more and more each year with the Bacon Fundraiser.

TeamFund handles the logistics, payments, and tracking, which frees up time for the team to promote their fundraiser and raise as much as possible.

Congratulations to Stettler Minor Hockey Association for your fundraising success!

Fundraising for schools can be a challenge. Learn how Connect Charter School and its parent committee and volunteers have raised $52K with healthy food fnndraisers and how your club, team, or school can achieve the same success.

About Connect Charter School

Connect Charter School is a charter school in Calgary, Alberta. A charter school is a fascinating place, as it is similar to a public school but provides greater autonomy over learning and unique programming beyond the classroom.

While they still follow the approved provincial curriculum, the school adopts additional, more independent educational programs and philosophies. Connect Charter School focuses on outdoor education and technology, spending more instruction time on math, science, and technology and employing a problem-based approach to learning.

Some things that make Connect Charter unique are its status as Alberta’s only Apple Distinguished School, recent projects with local poet laureate Wakefield Brewster, and being one of the first schools to participate in the Government of Alberta’s pilot Mental Health program for students.

Providing these incredible opportunities for students is a costly endeavour, and the school’s Parent-Teacher Association is committed to closing the financial gap. Since 2020, the school has partnered with TeamFund Fundraising to provide local food fundraisers to their families and community to help offset costs.

Ahead of the Trend: Healthy School Fundraising with the Fill Your Freezer

Fundraising is a critical aspect of supplementing school budgets to pay for learning tools, field trips, events, and other costs. This is especially important in a school like Connect Charter, who provide additional unique learning opportunities for their students.

Many schools have been considering selling more healthy food options in their fundraisers as a way to raise money. According to Alberta Health Services, healthy food fundraisers produce profits equal to or greater than profits from unhealthy food fundraisers. And Connect Charter is no different.

This Fall, Connect Charter School raised over $5,000 to support student learning. 

With TeamFund, the school signs up, shares their online fundraising links for parents to shop online, uses our easy online tools to promote and track their results, and shows up with a few volunteers for delivery day!

> How TeamFund Works

Connect Charter School is ahead of the trend, offering the Fill Your Freezer to their parents since 2020 and raising over $52,000 for their students and programming with restaurant-quality, healthy grocery staples like 100% fresh bacon, Alberta beef burgers and steaks, and many other tasty options for families. 

Over $52,000 Raised To Support Students with Tasty School Fundraising

Food fundraising in partnership with TeamFund and tasty local vendors has helped Connect Charter to refresh and upgrade their learning commons and keep providing epic learning opportunities for their students.

Here is what their most recent organizer had to say:

“All went well so… just keep doing the same things!”

Delivery day is always smooth and efficient with TeamFund’s easy-to-follow delivery day process. We love to show up at local deliveries whenever possible, so keep an eye out for Susan, your fundraising expert:

“We had a successful event. Delivery was on time and easy. Susan was awesome and stayed with us until we were well into distribution just to be sure things went well! Awesome!”

We are so happy to be part of Connect Charter’s fundraising strategy and look forward to following the school and its students’ accomplishments!

Ready to be our next success story?

Shop local meats and meals, feed your families, and alleviate financial barriers for your school, sports club, or group!

TeamFund fundraisers are repeatable. While administration changes year over year, “passing the torch” to a new fundraising coordinator is a seamless process and still provides stellar results for the club!

We are here for you every step of the way. Online fundraising means fewer hours inside spreadsheets and more time replaced enjoying soccer games, engaging with the community, and enjoying all the wonderful programming Airdrie & Soccer offers!

Crushers Baseball has raised over $16K with food fundraisers! They have found a fundraising strategy that hits a home run: combining tasty food, community building, easy online tools, and big profits!

About Crushers Baseball

Crushers Baseball is a thriving youth baseball organization based out of Chestermere, Alberta that offers a wide range of programs from Little League to junior and senior competitive baseball for youth aged 6-18. All teams play in the summer between the months of May and August.

Little League is a local and no-travel sport for more recreational players, while competitive programs travel to play in Calgary, Langdon, and even as far as Ontario in their most recent season for bigger tournaments.

Before the season begins, it’s important to prepare for more than just games on the field. The Board of Directors prepares fundraising initiatives to bring their community together and support the team financially. For Crushers, their two biggest fundraisers are a 50/50 raffle and the Fill Your Freezer with TeamFund.

Fill Your Freezer & Raise Funds: A Game-Changer for Crushers 

When it comes to baseball teams, the expenses can add up. Equipment, uniforms, keeping the field in good shape, and paying for travel for competitive teams. Fundraising helps the team raise the money they need and build connections in their community.

Crushers Baseball strives to provide fundraising opportunities that are both impactful and require a minimal amount of additional work from already busy parents, volunteers, athletes, and organizers. While running events like hit-a-thons or selling small products can be effective, they often require massive amounts of time and effort from already busy families.

With the Fill Your Freezer, parents and supporters are able to stock up on restaurant-quality, healthy, and tasty foods while earning an average of 20% profit from all sales to support their baseball season. It’s a win-win!

Avoid Family Fundraising Burnout

Their efforts have paid off! Crushers Baseball has been able to raise more money with less work and give families the opportunity to build community at the same time (without always having to compete for a cash prize).

With TeamFund, Crushers Baseball saves hours of volunteer time with our user-friendly online tools.

After signing up, parents can easily share their fundraising link to gather orders from their supporters. Once the campaign is complete, parents can meet up at the diamond for delivery!

By providing a fun, impactful, and convenient way for families to support the organization, Crushers Baseball ensures young athletes have the opportunity for personal growth both on and off the field.

With the money raised, they are able to provide the awesome sport of baseball to Chestermere and give players the opportunity to build confidence, be part of a team, and build friendships that can last a lifetime.

Everyone needs to eat and TeamFund offers healthy food options for busy families!

Cal Ripken Alberta Baseball is a fundraising success story you can take to the ball game! This team has been able to raise over $2K two years in a row.

About Alberta Cal Ripken Baseball 

Alberta Cal Ripken Baseball is a competitive baseball program for youth aged 8-12 in the Calgary area. Younger athletes can participate in their introduction team and try out for competitive teams as they grow into their baseball skills.

The biggest goal of the Alberta Cal Ripken Baseball organization is to provide an affordable experience for those who would like to participate in and better baseball culture in Alberta. Their primary focus in the program is development and growth, both as an athlete and a person.

As they have grown, one of the most coveted opportunities at Cal Ripken is for their elite players, who compete in the Cal Ripken World Series in the Spring and Summer each year.

“The cost of sending a team for the 10 days to represent CANADA typically costs $50 – $70K per year. It’s been the goal to send the best players to represent their country and province, however some families are not able to financially commit to the cost of training, travel, and tournaments required to prepare for the World Series.”

– Coach Rob A. 

Consequently, they have also had to find a way to quickly up their fundraising game without overwhelming volunteers and supporters. When it came to finding sustainable baseball fundraising opportunities, they realized they needed to start thinking outside of the diamond.

Fundraising for Baseball Teams

Like many baseball organizations, Cal Ripken relies on fundraising to make their competitive season and travel possible. The team had tried several fundraising strategies, but found they often:

❌ Took lots of time to set up and get going

❌ Required a lot of effort to get traction from members

❌ Needed time-consuming management from volunteers

With this mighty goal in mind (and a little research), Cal Ripken found TeamFund. Here’s a quick summary of how it works: 

TeamFund offers tasty food fundraisers with healthy, restaurant-quality, and mostly locally sourced fundraising products that families love! Cal Ripken opts for the Fill Your Freezer and Spolumbo’s*

*Find your location to see fundraisers in your area! 

After signing up, parents and supporters are able to stock up on restaurant-quality meats and grocery staples while earning an average of 20% profit of all sales to help send players to competitions across the province!

All purchases are made online (no inventory or cash handling!) and delivered to the team a few weeks later.

One way that Cal Ripken makes its fundraisers unique is by starting them before the parent group has a chance to meet. This has been a fantastic way to help families get to know each other at the start of the training season.

Right off the bat, Alberta Cal Ripken Baseball knew they had found a fundraising opportunity that:

✅ Families were keen on buying and selling (everyone needs to eat!)

✅ Did not involve “chance” lotteries or raffles

✅ Restaurant-quality, healthy food options to fit their lifestyle

✅ Has an easy, user-friendly online fundraising platform

✅ Would not overextend already busy parents and volunteers with timely activities like door-to-door sales while taking advantage of the team-building aspects of fundraising

Avoid Family Fundraising Burnout

By working with TeamFund, Cal Ripken has saved hours of volunteer time, avoided having to hawk apparel or “chances” to win something, and had successful campaigns with great payback. Plus, they can easily return again and again with little to no start-up issues (whenever their freezers start to run empty!)

“It is a very seamless process. It is great having a TeamFund representative here to help and offer suggestions.”

Their efforts have paid off! Alberta Cal Ripken Baseball has been able to raise more money with less work and give families the opportunity to get to know each other at the same time (without competing for a cash prize).

Over $2K Raised Two Years in A Row! (~$5600 total)

Ready to be our next success story?

Your baseball team or group can do it too! Here is what Alberta Cal Ripken Baseball had to say about their experience:

“TeamFund developed an online platform that enabled the Team to invite, process, document and delivers the product to the supporter with no paper transactions. This allowed the Team to leverage their time more efficiently as fundraising can interfere with games, practices and team building. The coordination of a TeamFund event requires approximately 4 hours from start to finish, including reminder emails, updates and specifically product pick-up which accounts for 50% the total time”

Looking to keep your gymnastics equipment new and exciting? Raise funds with Calgary food fundraisers in partnership with TeamFund! Gymtastics has raised over $27K for gymnastics equipment by Filling their Freezers with tasty meats and more.

About Gymtastics Gym Club

You cannot miss the iconic star logo of the Gymtastics Gym Club while driving down Deerfoot Trail in Calgary, Alberta. Since 1991, the club has bene providing gymnastics, tumbling, and trampoline programming to youth of all ages (preschool – 18) in both recreational and competitive settings,

Gymtastics provides a unique, innovative and creative approach to gymnastics that focuses not only on developing skill, but also on personal development on an emotional, mental, and physical level.

One of Gymtastics’ great displays of creativity is Gymtwinkle: a teaching aide, mascot, and relatable friend for preschool students. Gymtwinkle provides a fun and creative twist on instruction and their presence in the gym represents the belief that every child is a star, just as they are!

This colourful and family-friendly gym offers a safe space for kids to expand their comfort zone, grow their love for fitness, and reach their fullest potential. 

A Place for All Ages, Abilities, and Affordable Family Fun

Gymnastics improves all-around physical health and can provide an excellent base for all sports and life skills. Age-appropriate instruction and a focus on individual goals and growth mean that Gymtastics is always on a mission to ensure that its customers are satisfied with its programming. They even use their gym as a community event space with certified instructors, obstacle courses, and gymnastics activities for birthday parties!  

Maintaining such a shining facility requires a lot of dollars. In order to keep their programming affordable, Gymtastics runs several fundraising initiatives throughout the year to support families.

One fundraiser they have returned to once (sometimes twice!) every year since 2020 is TeamFund Fundraising. Gymtastics partners with TeamFund to offer families delicious products while earning an average of 20% profits of all sales to help maintain equipment and purchase new equipment.

Food fundraising has helped to partially fund equipment such as trampoline mats, a pit bar, vaulting pit, and barrier curtains to keep the facility up-to-date.

Over $27K+ Raised with Local Food Fundraisers

Their efforts have paid off! Over the last 4 years of engaging their community in local food fundraisers such as Coco Brooks, Bow River Meats, and the Fill Your Freezer*, Gymtastics has been able to raise $27,625 to help fund equipment costs.

Gymtastics has been able to offer healthy food fundraisers that fit their lifestyle, save hours of volunteer hours with TeamFund’s easy online tools, and earn a good profit for their gym.

As a result, Gymtastics is able to offer a clean and safe environment with reasonable priced programming that is sure to bring smiles, giggles, skills, and fun to children of all ages for years to come.

About Airdrie Girls Softball Association

Airdrie Girls Softball Association (AGSA) is a community softball league serving young athletes in Airdrie, Okotoks, Crossfield, Carstairs, Didsbury, and Balzac. Along with local games, some of their teams compete in the Calgary Softball League.

> Find Fundraisers in Your Area! 

The softball association is run by a small group of volunteers who work hard to make every season safe and find funding opportunities to keep the sport affordable. Teamwork is at the core of the AGSA philosophy, fostering friendship and fun in the community since 1980.

Fundraising Together Teaches Teamwork and Community Engagement

Fundraising and team-building go hand in hand: You can raise more by working together as a team than having parents scramble to fund their kids’ baseball themselves on top of their countless other commitments.

Engaging youth in your fundraisers and giving them an opportunity to work together towards a shared goal also strengthens the teamwork that is foundational to succeeding in sports!

• Developing self-esteem and confidence
• Teaching leadership skills
• Communication skills → like asking for the sale!
• Building stronger relationships
• Learn time management
• Acquire respect for self and others
• Understand responsibility

Like many baseball organizations, the AGSA faced a common challenge: funding the growing needs of its young athletes. As a volunteer-run organization, AGSA relies on fundraising solutions to raise money and cover the cost of equipment, travel, and overall program enhancement.

One fundraiser that the AGSA has returned to 3x now is the Fill Your Freezer Fundraiser! This fundraiser offers a great opportunity for families in the AGSA to raise money for their programming while stocking up on restaurant-quality groceries.

With TeamFund Fundraising, the group is able to track results per team so they can allocate the funds once their fundraiser is complete.

Parents stock their freezers with grocery favourites like bacon, steaks, burgers, and more!

The best part: an average of 20% of every purchase goes straight back to the team to help fund their teams every year.

We all know a baseball family can’t resist a hot dog, right!?

Softball teams can fundraise as a means of reducing costs for tournaments, team meals, apparel, etc.

Fundraising helps supplement organization costs and make the organization better for players, coaches, and parents.

The results speak for themselves:

In 2022, the group raised just ~$1800 in their first Fill Your Freezer fundraiser.

When they returned in 2023, they almost doubled their fundraising efforts to raise almost $4500

Most recently, in May 2024, the Airdrie Girls Softball Association was able to raise $5,252 to support their softball teams.

Softball Fundraising Success: Over $11K Raised in 3 Years!

One of the great benefits of TeamFund is that often when groups return, they raise more the second time than they did the first! 

• Families rave about the tasty food and want to purchase more
• Avoid “chances” to win something for families who aren’t into 50/50s
• Successful campaigns with great payback

Reduce the friction of time-consuming management from volunteers with our easy online tools. 

Since 2022, Airdrie Girls Softball Association (AGSA) has been able to raise $11,609 by filling their freezers with tasty meats! 

With those funds, the AGSA  brought home several medals from bronze to gold in their 2024 season tournaments across Alberta.

Whether or not they win, the AGSA warmly congratulates every one of their athletes for the passion for the game, dedication to their team, and love for the sport.

Not only do they demonstrate commitment, sportsmanship, determination, and enthusiasm, but gratitude comes at the forefront of their work. The Angels enrich the Airdrie community and serve not only as a fun way for youth to stay active, but an inspiration for future athletes

We are excited to see how they perform in 2024/25! 

Go spend your hard-earned funds and rock your next tournament!

What could your softball team do with an extra thousand dollars (or more…)?

903 Strathmore Cadets have raised over $8500 since 2022 – over $5000 of that was raised this year! Find out how you can grow your fundraising efforts every year with TeamFund. 

About 903 Strathmore Cadets

The surprising secret ingredient to building strong citizens (and raising more in your next youth group or team fundraiser)? Fun and Teamwork!

903 Strathmore Royal Canadian Air Force Cadets is a non-profit youth program for ages 12-18 based out of Strathmore, Alberta. The program aims to empower youth aged 12 – 18 through challenging, fun, and rewarding activities that help build valuable life skills. .

Their programs cover a plethora of activities: aviation, marksmanship, speech, field survival, physical fitness, leadership, music, and teaching. The Cadets offer a unique learning experience, using practical real-life situations that require teamwork to help youth learn the value of working together to accomplish their goals.

Youth come away from the program learning mutual respect, forming lifelong friendships, and building a community with long-lasting impact.

Cadets Fundraising Supports Training and Other Activities

As a non-profit organization, the 903 Strathmore Cadets look to community support to help raise funds to support training and other activities. Fundraising and cadets both have incredible benefits for team building: 

• • Building confidence and self-esteem
  • Teaching leadership skills
  • Developing relationships with the community
  • Practice communication skills
  • …and more!

To raise funds, Cadets take part in bottle drives, parade nights, and cash calendars. One fundraiser they return to year after year is TeamFund’s Fill Your Freezer Fundraiser. 

In 2022, their first Fill Your Freezer fundraiser raised just over $700 for their group. While they didn’t quite reach their goals, they decided to give it another try!

With consistency, tasty products with families in mind, and an easy online platform….  they have been able to double their fundraisers twice to achieve an incredible profit of $5189.50 in Spring 2024! 

Overcoming Fundraising Challenges 

In their first attempt with TeamFund, the group brought in just $703 with 100% fresh Canadian bacon. While they were still able to bring in a little bit of money for their organization, they knew they could do better.

The challenge? Low engagement– they needed a way to excite the community. The group changed up their strategy and followed up in 2023 with a Fill Your Freezer Fundraiser.

The Fill Your Fundraiser Took Off! ✈️ 

Bigger Boxes = Bigger Sales. But if the product isn’t the right fit for your group? You might need to switch things up.

By switching to a Fill Your Freezer to better meet the dietary needs and preferences of their community – they were able to improve their fundraising efforts every year.

The Secret Ingredients To Their Fundraising Success?

• • VARIETY: Offering a wide range of products attracted more supporters and families who were looking to purchase other products to support the group.
  • COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: Over time, the group has built relationships with the community to boost sales and parents have built trust that they will receive delicious, healthy, and high-quality products to stock their freezers.
