Running a lacrosse team isn’t cheap! Getting them to tournaments, playoffs, or nationals can be quite the expense. When it’s time to raise money, most organizers hit a wall.
Why?
Because traditional fundraisers are overdone, underwhelming, and don’t raise nearly enough to cover big expenses like team travel, gear upgrades, or tournament entry fees.
So before you plan another car wash or bake sale, let’s dive into what team organizers really struggle with and how a casino night fundraiser can solve all of it!
🎯 The Problem: Low Attendance or Boring Events
Let’s face it—spaghetti dinners and silent auctions aren’t exactly crowd magnets anymore! If you want a room full of donors, you need a reason for them to show up and stay.
✅ Our Solution:
We turn your fundraiser into a party! Think blackjack, craps, poker, roulette, high-energy dealers, fun prizes, and a night people will talk about for weeks. We’ve seen this format bring in hundreds of guests who were more than happy to spend money to support the team!
💸 The Problem: Not Raising Enough Money
You put in all that effort…and walk away with $2,000. That won’t even cover half a team’s hotel stay!
✅ Our Solution:
Our casino night model gives you tons of earning potential:
Ticket sales
VIP access or sponsorships
Raffle prizes
Silent/live auctions
Custom chip packages
💥 One school raised $60,000 in a single night using our casino fundraiser format!
⏳ The Problem: Organizers Are Overworked and Under-Supported
If you’re a parent or coach trying to juggle everything—this isn’t your full-time job! You shouldn’t have to figure out logistics, entertainment, decor, or flow on your own.
✅ Our Solution:
We handle everything from setup to teardown. We provide the tables, chips, dealers, decor, and more. You get a seasoned team that knows what works and how to make your fundraiser run like clockwork!
🤝 The Problem: Getting Sponsors and Donors Excited
Sometimes it’s hard to get the community involved or convince sponsors to contribute without knowing what’s in it for them.
✅ Our Solution:
Casino nights attract a high-value crowd! Local business owners, school supporters, and parents love the social aspect. It’s an easy sell when you’re offering exposure at a classy, fun event—not another typical fundraiser.
🤷♀️ The Problem: You Don’t Know Where to Start
Most people planning fundraisers aren’t professional event planners. That’s okay!
✅ Our Solution:
We’ll walk you through every step. You’ll get ideas for venues, ticket pricing, prize structures, and timelines. Plus, we’ve got sample flyers, promo tips, and real success stories to guide you!
💬 Real Review from Delphine Carter:
“I can’t say enough about the quality this team delivers. We’ve used them twice now for our Vestavia Lacrosse annual team fundraiser and they kill it every time.”
