Are fundraising opportunities available to offset costs?

Absolutely. LASC teams are strongly encouraged to participate in fundraising activities, and some teams have been so successful that 100% of all team expenses have been covered through their efforts. After expenses, club coordinated fundraisers return a large percentage of the monies back to the individual teams and a smaller percentage to the general club. These fundraisers include selling ads for the August LASC Kickoff tournament program and selling discount coupon cards for local businesses.

Teams are also free to acquire their own sponsorship and to develop their own fundraisers. In the past, team fundraisers have included such efforts as garage sales, bake sales, car washes, and magazine sales, as well as parents and players working sporting events. In these cases, 100% of the monies are retained by the teams. Because the Club has an interest in assuring that sponsorship and fundraising efforts are appropriate under Club policies and 501(c)(3) regulations, all sponsorship and fundraising activities must be approved in advance with the LASC Board of Directors
