The playbook

These are what the teams that hit their number do. The last three are part of every Piedmont fundraiser.

The buy-out. "Every player sells at least 10 items. If you can't get to 10, your family covers the difference by buying the rest yourselves. It's dinner you'll eat anyway, and every item counts toward the team."

We'll do these

Every player sells at least 10 items, or their family buys the difference. We'll kick off with every player, and a parent for each if we can. Coaches and booster officers place the first orders on launch morning. Someone personally checks in with players who haven't sold yet. We'll post the link in our group chat or team app, not just email.

Kickoff: when and where?Every player there, and parents if you can get them. Everyone leaves with the link and their number.

Who checks in with non-sellers? Who places the first orders?

Who stands in front of the whole group, and how often?The person who says the number out loud. Groups with nobody in this role rarely get more than a handful of players selling.

Where does your group actually talk? We write your launch messages for these, so they land where people actually look.

Should we send the asks for your families? optional

Yes, please. Each family gives us a few email addresses, and we email those people for them, from the player, with the order link. Maybe, tell me more. No thanks, our families will do their own asking.

05

Your order page

What are you raising money for?Name one to three specific things. It goes at the top of your order page, and "new batting helmets" gets far more orders than "support the team." Team logo or photo optionalA logo with a transparent background is best. A good team photo works too. Contact email for buyers optionalWhere families send questions about their order.

Last thing

I have authority to run this fundraiser on behalf of the team or group above. I understand Piedmont BBQ Co. collects all payments online and sends the team's profit by check or Zelle after pickup. I understand Piedmont BBQ Co. delivers our order once sales reach $5,000. Under that, someone from our team picks up the whole order at Piedmont's kitchen (3795 Presidential Pkwy, Atlanta, GA 30340).

Let's set up your team's fundraiser.
