Here is a summary of the fundraising options available to players. The fundraising goal is $200 per player. 

• Raffle Tickets: Each player was given 10 tickets as part of their player pack. These tickets are yours to keep for yourself or sell. If you sell these tickets, you keep the cash (as you have already paid for them). These tickets/sales DO NOT count toward the fundraising goal. If you received additional raffle tickets, every ticket you sell goes towards your fundraising goal. Tickets are in packs of 10 tickets so each packet you sell is $50 towards your fundraising goal. If you would like additional raffle tickets, please contact the boosters at blainebengalsoftball@gmail.com with the player name, team and the number of packs (10 tickets per pack) you would like. We will then make arrangements to get them to you.   
• Snap! Raise Fundraiser: This is an online fundraiser. You receive 80% of all dollars raised through this program. Use this link to create an account/profile and then share the campaign page with family and friends.  
• Kwik Trip Car Wash Cards: Car wash cards include 5 Ultimate Car Washes. Cards are sold for $35 each. Of that amount, $15 goes towards fundraising goals.  We are currently sold out of these cards. If there is still interest in selling these cards, please respond to this email and if there is enough interest, we will order more.  

Soon we will announce days that someone will be at practice to collect ticket stubs and payments.  Please hold on to all fundraising items until then.  THANK YOU!

Managing a spring schedule is never easy with Minnesota weather, but we are excited to be outside this early this season. COVID has provided additional scheduling challenges, so we will do our best to keep the website updated and communicate with players and families. Thanks for your patience!
