I have a 92 that has been playing for the past 4 years competatively. We have averaged somewhere around 8 to 10 thousand dollars per year. We have reached the point that we cannot fund this activitiy out of our family money any longer. I feel obligated to continue to provide competitive hockey for my son. I would be interested in any successfull fundraising techiques.
I know exactly what you mean. I also have a '92 and we're spending about the same. Even though our team had a great fundraiser last year that netted about $10k, I was still out of pocket about $7K. Short of getting another job, I'm looking for sponsors and trying to market vlog development. Let me know if you get any good ideas.
