Fundraising Made Easy
Our Roy Gayle Baseball & Softball fundraiser is officially underway! This year, we tried to make fundraising simple for families.
No selling
No door-to-door
No order forms
Each team has its own fundraiser page. Families are simply asked to share their team link on social media, through text messages, email, and with friends, family, coworkers, and local businesses.
Each team is working toward a $500 fundraising goal. With an average roster of around 12 players, that breaks down to roughly $42 per player if everyone participates.
Important Zeffy Tip Reminder
Zeffy is free for Roy Gayle to use as our fundraising platform. During checkout, Zeffy may ask donors to leave a contribution or tip to support their platform.
This contribution is optional. To remove it, click “Other”, enter “0”, and complete your donation.
We Want Your Input
As fundraising continues, we also want to hear from our Roy Gayle community about where you would like to see fundraising dollars go.
Bleacher repairs? New picnic tables? Field improvements? Dugout upgrades?
We will begin this conversation on social media soon and will also send a survey to families so we can hear directly from our community.
