Athletic fundraisers are a powerful way for teams, coaches, and fans to come together in support of the Joe Andruzzi Foundation (JAF). Whether it’s a high‑energy team challenge, a spirited alumni game, or community‑focused events like clinics, raffles, and concession nights, these activities bring people together while raising crucial funds for New England cancer patients and their families. Each event not only fuels school spirit and celebrates teamwork—it also helps provide vital financial assistance during some of the most stressful and challenging moments in a patient’s life.
Here are some ideas to get you started:
| Team Challenge Fundraiser | Set a goal (e.g., number of push-ups, laps, or drills) and have athletes collect pledges based on performance. It’s motivating and showcases team dedication. |
| Skills Clinic or Camp | Host a sports clinic for younger students or community members. Charge a fee for participation and have team members lead drills and games. |
| Alumni vs. Varsity Game | Invite alumni to play against current team members. Sell tickets, snacks, and team merch. It’s nostalgic and fun for the whole community. |
| Sports-Themed Raffle Night | Raffle off signed gear, game tickets, or local business donations. Host it during a home game or community event. |
| Team Car Wash | Classic and effective. Set up in a busy parking lot and have team members wash cars for donations. |
| Gate Ticket Fundraiser | Support JAF and your team just by showing up! Connect with Athletic Director to see if a percentage of ticket sales from a game can go directly to fundraising efforts. |
| Concessions Sales | Enjoy your favorite game-time snacks and support JAF at the same time! A portion of all concession sales during the game will go directly to fundraising goals. |
| Custom Gear Sale | Sell team and JAF-branded items like hats, hoodies, water bottles, and socks. Limited-edition items can boost interest and school spirit. (Designs must be approved by JAF) |
