Rally Towel Fundraiser Ideas for Schools and Booster Clubs

Custom rally towels are one of the easiest fundraisers a team can run. Fans want one anyway, they're cheap to ship and store, and every towel waving in the stands advertises the program.

Unlike candy bars or discount cards, a towel is something people use on game night and keep afterward. Here's how schools, booster clubs, and youth leagues make it work.

Five fundraiser ideas that work

1. Sell at the gate. Set up a table at the entrance for big home games. Fans buy on the way in and wave them all night.
2. Bundle with tickets. Offer a "towel + ticket" price for rivalry games, senior night, or playoffs.
3. Sponsor-paid giveaway. A local business pays for the towels in exchange for its logo on the design. The team keeps the gate money and fans get a free towel.
4. Pre-order through parents. Collect orders and payment ahead of time, then order exactly what you sold. No leftover stock.
5. Playoff edition. Make a limited towel with the season record or "Playoffs 2026." Limited runs sell fast, and many fans buy two.

How to plan the money

Keep the math simple. Your profit per towel is your selling price minus your cost per towel, and bulk orders bring the cost per towel down.

Tips for a towel that sells

• Make it big and bold. Large logos and short phrases read from across the gym. Skip tiny text.
• Use full color. Sublimation prints any number of colors edge to edge, so gradients, photos, and school colors all work.
• Add a slogan or theme. "Whiteout," "Pack the Gym," or a season motto gives fans a reason to buy this year's towel.
• Order early. Give yourself time to approve a mockup and promote the sale before the big game.
• Post photos after the game. A crowd shot full of towels sells next season's batch.
