Our business was built with memories in mind. We started our parent company MKE Laser Design to create custom wall art that often times told an emotional story about an accomplishment or recognition of a career. Our clients always tell us how much the recipient loved their gift and the memories it inspired. Very often our custom orders were based around sports, from club teams, to high school teams and very often college commitment gifts. This is where MKE Fundraiser was born. After seeing how much players, coaches and families loved the designs, we decided to give back. While fund raising takes many shapes across all areas we built MKE Fundraiser with sports teams in mind as we’ve been there. We understand that in today’s world of school or club sports, expenses are adding up faster than ever with fees, travel lodging and everything else that goes into putting an athlete into action. We also understand as a sports family ourselves, nobody likes doing fundraisers as they are all the same, popcorn/food no one wants, candy no one needs, cumbersome collection of orders/money and custom pieces, like shirts take forever to get delivered, often times after the season is nearly over and when you do get them, they are of poor quality.
We’ve reimagined the fundraiser to be something that is not only easy to order on our website, but in the end, your players, friends and family members will receive their high quality custom products quickly and will get a piece of art they will cherish for years to come
Our process is simple, we will work together to design the custom products to be offered during the fundraiser. Once the designs have been approved, we will build your organization it’s own page within our website that will welcome them to your fundraising page and give the details of the fundraiser. Any items purchased off of your page will result in a donation to your organization. If friends and family would like other items from our business, including completely separate custom orders, they will enter in a promo code when checking out and your organization will receive a donation based upon there order there as well. As to delivery, we have options to ship directly to each family, but incurs additional shipping cost, deliver bulk order to the club for pick-up (no delivery fee) or our preferred method, have us come on site to facilitate the hand delivery to your families along with presentation of your fundraising check. We prefer the hand delivery for selfish reasons, we love to see the reaction of the families when they see their personalized custom sign we have created for them for the first time.
As an example, we create a custom wall sign for your club volleyball team that each member could personalize with their players name and or number. The wall sign or yard sign would have a sale price of $120 – $130 respectfully, of which we would donate $20 to your club, an ornament would be purchased for $20 and would donate $5 to your club. In most circumstances, we will also include, “free of charge”, a vehicle decal with all purchases to aide with club advertising.
An average size soccer club of 600 players would receive a donation of $15,000 if each player purchased a personalized wall sign and ornament. We have had clubs raise or lower the cost of the signs to meet their fundraising needs and have also had clubs that choose to complete the fundraiser as mandatory for budgeting purposes, (for mandatory fundraisers, we may increase our donation…it’s actually likely).
The best part to our fundraiser is, it doesn’t stop! If 8 months after the actual fundraiser is over, a family decides they want another sign or decided they actually wanted that ornament, when they buy it, we’ll still send you your donation!!!
No way! If you have an organization that needs additional funding, we will work together to come up with a one of a kind custom sign that your members will be proud to display. From school bands to dance teams and anything you can imagine, we’ve got you covered.
