10 Baseball Fundraiser Ideas That Work
We run the Slice the Price Card, a Domino’s pizza card fundraiser, so of course it’s #1 on our list! All 10 ideas are proven favorites. Baseball programs have relied on them for years. Most teams use a few, from the offseason to the last game of spring.
- Slice the Price Card sale. Each player shares a personal link. Supporters buy a $20 Domino’s card that gives a free large pizza with the purchase of a large at participating Domino’s. Your team keeps $10 of every card. There is no upfront cost and nothing to store. A two-week sale in the preseason has the money in hand before the first tournament fee.
- Hit-a-thon. Supporters pledge per foot on each player’s longest hits, measured at one practice. You already have the field, the bats, and the players.
- Outfield fence banners. Local businesses pay to hang a banner on the outfield fence for the season. It may be the easiest sponsorship to sell in baseball, and one sponsor sheet starts it.
- Snack shack and concessions. Home games and weekend doubleheaders keep families at the field for hours. A parent-run snack shack can sell all day.
- Youth camp or clinic. Your players coach younger kids through a morning of hitting and fielding for a registration fee. It raises money and can feed your future roster.
- Program and scorecard ads. Sell ad space in the season program or on the scorecard handed out at home games. Your only cost is printing.
- Alumni game. Invite former players back to take on the current team. Charge admission, with a raffle between innings.
- 50/50 raffle. Sell tickets at home games; the winner takes half the pot. Confirm your state’s raffle rules before tickets go on sale.
- Preseason car wash. A February or March Saturday, a borrowed lot, and the whole roster. It funds the small things before the season starts.
- Spirit wear. Team shirts, hats, and hoodies for players, parents, and fans. Sell by preorder so the team never buys a shirt it cannot move.
Here’s why we think you’ll love the Slice the Price Card fundraiser!
A Baseball Fundraiser to Cover the Spring
Baseball costs add up when spring opens. Think bats, bucket balls, field clay, screens, and tournament travel. The Slice the Price Card gives your baseball team a two-week fundraiser. It covers those costs without taking money out of anyone's pocket.

How the Slice the Price Card program works
The Slice the Price Card is a Domino’s Pizza fundraiser. It has helped groups raise money since 1999. Your supporters buy a $20 card, and the card sells itself. It gets them a free large pizza when they buy a large pizza at menu price. It works at participating Domino’s stores until the card expires.
- Zero upfront cost. There is no cost to your group, ever, no minimum order, and no leftover inventory, because cards are only sent out once they are sold. The program is risk-free.
- 50% profit. Cards sell for $20 and your group keeps $10 of every card sold.
- Sell online, on paper, or both. We set up a free online store. Supporters can buy from anywhere, and we ship the cards to them. You can also use printed order forms. Groups that use both usually sell more cards than groups that only sell online.
- Runs two weeks. A short sale keeps everyone focused. We find it gets the best results.
- A specialist helps the whole way. Your Fundraising Specialist sets it up with you. They send your materials and check in with you.
- Free prize programs. You can add prize and T-shirt programs that reward sellers. They work great for schools and younger sellers.
Cards are good for 6 months to 1 year, based on when your fundraiser starts. The expiration date is printed on every card.
Why it’s perfect for baseball teams
Spring costs cluster early. Baseball costs cluster at the start of spring. Several of them are unique to the sport. Field maintenance, infield clay, batting cage upkeep, screens, and a long list of team bats and balls all have to be ready before opening day. A late-winter or early-spring sale lines up with that.
Travel ball is its own budget. Tournament entry fees, gate fees, and weekend hotels add up quickly across a season. The money your team keeps has no restrictions. It can cover travel just as easily as gear.
Pizza fits the crowd. Baseball families spend whole weekends at the diamond. Pizza is the natural end to a long tournament Saturday. A $20 buy-one-get-one card is handy for your own families too. It is not only for relatives who buy with a share link.
No dugout disruption. There is nothing to store in the dugout and no cash to count by hand when supporters buy online. Sales track on a live dashboard, so a coaching staff focused on the field can still run the fundraiser cleanly.
What your group can earn
Your group keeps $10 for every $20 card sold — a full 50% profit with no upfront cost. There is no minimum and no maximum number of cards.
The math is simple:
Participants × Cards per participant × $10 = Your profit
10 participants selling 15 cards each
$1,500
25 participants selling 15 cards each
$3,750
50 participants selling 20 cards each
$10,000
100 participants selling 20 cards each
$20,000
Most groups raise around $1,500. Larger or highly motivated groups have raised $10,000+. Our largest fundraiser raised about $21,450. A fundraiser needs at least 5 participants. These numbers are only a guide for setting goals. Real results depend on how many people sell and how hard they work.
