Step 1: Come up with an idea or proposal for your fundraising event. (We proposed to host a Zombie themed paintball weekend. A friday and Sat night)
Step 2: Talk to your home field owner about your idea. This is to help raise funds for your team and at the same time, and more importantly, help promote paintball and their field.
Step 3: When talking to your home field about your idea, collaborate to come up with what dates and details work for them and your team
(ex. Our field charged $25 per player for entry and they donated $10 per player to our team for our next entry fee)
Step 4: Decide with your team what supplies you need to make this happen. Remember this is a fundraiser so try to keep your cost low. (We used make-up we already had to make ourselves look Zombi-ish, however zombie make-up cost only a few dollars)
Step 5: Promote your event!! Keep your team pumped up and focused on promoting the event on social media platforms. Make flyers to leave and put up at your local paintball store, paintball field, and other stores that carry paintball equipment. (We took flyers to those places plus sporting good stores around the area)
Step 6: (Optional) Add a raffle to your event. Everyone loves a raffle! We asked a few paintball companies if they could donate items to raffle off for additional funds. This is totally a bonus. We also had the logos of the companies that donated added onto our flyers. Make sure to mention the companies while announcing raffle winners!
Step 7: Have fun with it! And remember to thank everyone who helped you make this event successful!
