6. Branded merchandise

merchandise that supporters can wear
when they watch you play.

group will often be interested in buying
these types of mementos. T-shirts and
baseball caps can work well for this. You
can even offer personalized mobile
phone cases

7. Basketball scratch cards
Basketball scratch cards are similar to
lottery scratchcards but there’s a twist
involved.
Donors scratch 2 of the 50 dots and donate
the amount that’s revealed. In exchange for
their donation, they’ll often get something
in return. Coupons for popular retailers are
a common example.

8. Selling snacks and candies
Lollipops can be a good choice. They
can be sold in the school gym or yard,
for example
Cookies and cakes are also likely to be
popular. You can even bake them or
decorate them with basketball themes
See if you can partner with a local confectionery manufacturer or bakery to
create basketball-themed candies, cakes, or cookies

Your basketball group can host classes to
help people in the local community improve
their fitness. You can hold a basketball
training session to stay on the theme – this
