Basketball shoes. It all came down to basketball shoes.

The need for new basketball shoes is what drove Eric Harper and his teammates in search of a fast $1,400. But like so many non-profit and student groups, there was no seed money for getting started with something complex. Good thing Eric found CampusFundraiser while searching the Internet.

“What I liked about CampusFundraiser was the fact that we were in a no-risk situation.” Eric says now that the work is over. Having done their share of Shoot-a-thons and other cumbersome programs, Eric reports his interest was piqued by a new type of fundraiser that proved to be “short and sweet”.

CampusFundraiser’s professional staff was by his side every step of the way. “They helped with organization and selling tips”. This proved crucial, since his group’s members were not too enthused about the idea of doing yet another fundraiser. The combination of no start-up cost translating to immediate profits and a program that didn’t drag on quickly turned skeptics into boosters.

“This was a fundraiser that didn't need to last long and did not require a significant time commitment from our players or coaching staff.” Eric happily reports. “That was crucial because we know the time commitment problems college students and athletes have.” Says the team now that they have their new shoes: “We were able to reach and surpass our goal of magazines sold in our campus fundraiser. Thank you for a simple, well organized fundraiser.”
