Fundraising
We understand fundraising is an important step in the decision to travel as a team. So we've put together some fundraising resources below for you to consider.
Dream Team Donation Program
We are excited to be working with Charity Get Away on a donation program that will award a Walt Disney World® Resort vacation to ten lucky donors. This "Dream Team" random drawing donation program ("Donation Program") allows your team to leverage the excitement of your upcoming ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex experience and share with family, friends and your community. What's better than offering supporters the chance to be on their own road to Disney?
"Dream Team" Grand Prize Winners of the Donation Program receive (subject to standard restrictions and official rules):
One (1) vacation package for up to four (4) persons consisting of three (3) nights (one room, based on quad occupancy) and four (4) days at the Walt Disney World® Resort including:
- Four (4) 4-Day Magic Your Way with Park Hopper® Option theme park tickets
- A cash prize of $500 to winner and each of winner's guests to be used towards travel expenses such as air fare
- One (1) gift card with a value of three hundred dollars ($300)
- Four (4) 4-Day admissions to ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.
The Dream Team Donation Program will allow you to keep 75% of all proceeds you collect from the Donation Program tickets. The remaining 25% of proceeds will be used to cover costs with administering the Donation Program and fulfilling the trips. The program is available to teams in the following states: Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Ney York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
Since the Donation Program is time sensitive, we encourage you to contact Danny Yanesh with Charity Get Away at (321) 285-0191 or charitygetaway@live.com as soon as possible to see if your organization qualifies.
Enterprise Rent-A-Car and Alamo Rent-A-Car Team Fundraising Program
It takes a team to make the dream of going to Disney World for student athletes come true. Working with Enterprise Rent-A-Car and Alamo Rent-A-Car, we developed a program that allows you to earn fundraising dollars for your team while doing an everyday activity - renting a car.
Once you've registered for the program, 5% of qualifying purchases from you, family and friends will go to your team. While the program can be used for travel at any time, your upcoming trip to ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex would be a great opportunity to earn extra funds for your team.
ESPN The Magazine Coaches Fundraising Program
ESPN wants to help support your team, club or organization. When you sell 2-year subscriptions to ESPN The Magazine, your team keeps 75% on the spot! That's $30 per subscription!
