Online Softball Fundraiser

[Fastpitch Elite]

I'm attempting an online fundraiser using all of the social media available to me: Twitter, Facebook, CoachBook, forums, and other social networking sites. I am using Fundable.com to try and raise money for improvements on the softball field at Wheeling Jesuit University, where I am the head coach. In these tough economic times, everyone is feeling the crunch, even colleges and universities, especially in non-revenue, female sports. I'd appreciate everyone visiting the link below to check out what we are doing with this fundraiser. I will keep everyone updated and let you know if this is a viable option for other coaches to raise $$$ for their program. Thanks so much!

Hey Coach,

Love the picture. I'm also interested in hearing how your online fundraiser goes. Keep us posted!

Thanks Stacie! I'd appreciate any help to get this thing going viral!

Only one donation so far, but a member here read about the fundraiser and is going to help set up a dinner thru a local civic organization to help!!!

The fundraiser dinner/silent auction for WJU's softball team will be held November 14 at St. Alphonus Parish Hall, Settlement Road, Norwalk, Ohio from noon to 4. We have several great items including sports memorabilia from Crystl Bustos, Jenny Finch, Michele Smith & Archie Griffin but could always use more. The cost of the grilled pork loin dinner is $8 for adults.
