Booster Club Memberships and Fundraising

Membership Is the Base of a Booster Club

A booster club usually runs on a handful of repeating needs: annual memberships, sponsor banners, spirit wear and an end-of-season banquet. When all of them share one spreadsheet and one stack of checks, the treasurer spends the season sorting out who paid for what. A PayIt2 campaign for memberships gives you one clean page, and the other needs get pages of their own.

Membership Tiers as Options

Build your tiers as options on the membership page, for example a family level, a supporter level and a booster-plus level that includes a yard sign. Members choose a tier, pay by card and receive a confirmation. Nobody needs to create an account, which matters when you are asking busy parents to pay in the stands between plays.

Add a custom question for the roster. Ask for the student or athlete the family supports, the team or program, and a phone number for game-day notices. Use a text question for names and a select list for the team, so the exported roster comes back clean.

Give Each Fundraiser Its Own Page

Keep the membership page about membership. Sponsor banners, spirit wear and the banquet each behave differently, so each gets its own campaign with its own price list and deadline. You can see the money from each one separately at the end of the season. See our guides to sponsorship packages for banners, spirit wear sales and team banquets.

What Organizers Typically Collect For

Booster clubs usually collect for several things across a season:

• Annual family and supporter memberships
• Sponsor banners and program ads from local businesses
• Spirit wear and concession fundraisers
• End-of-season banquet tickets
• Equipment and travel funds for the team

Reminders matter as much as the page. Booster memberships tend to arrive in a burst at the start of the season and then stall. Check your dashboard after the first game, send your own note to families you want to reach, and include the link again so nobody has to hunt for it. A clear description of what memberships fund, such as the team meal, the equipment budget or the senior night, gives families a reason to join now instead of later.

Run the Next Season Faster

When the season ends, duplicate the membership campaign, update the dates and prices, and launch it for the new year. Export the member list as a CSV for the roster and the treasurer's report. Reminders go to anyone on your campaign's list who has not paid yet.
