Team fundraising without the shoebox of cash
Booster fundraising is a dozen parent volunteers, a season that runs for months, and cash changing hands at the edge of a field. Rafflebase moves the entry list somewhere everyone can see it and makes every draw produce its own receipt.
Free for up to 100 entrants. No subscriptions.
What usually goes wrong
-
Cash and paper stubs go missing
Envelopes at the concession stand are how fundraising money disappears. Digital entries can’t be mislaid, and the count is live on your phone.
-
A dozen volunteers, one process
Each team runs its own drawing but every one of them works the same way and produces the same public proof, so the club looks organized instead of improvised.
-
The season is long
Run a separate raffle per game, per tournament or per team and keep them all in one dashboard, with each one’s history intact after it closes.
Three steps, start to finish
-
1
Collect entries at the game
A QR code at the gate or on the concession board. Parents enter from the bleachers between innings.
-
2
Draw at halftime
Press draw on the sideline. The winner is announced and the proof is already public.
-
3
Post it to the team group
Drop the results link into the team chat so the parents who couldn’t make the game see the same record.
Every draw ships with its own proof
The winner and a SHA-256 hash of the draw publish together. Anyone can re-run the computation and confirm the same name comes out — no one has to take your word for it.

Sports clubs, specifically
- Can we run one drawing per team?
- Yes. Create a raffle for each team and share its own signup link with that roster. They all live in one dashboard, and closed raffles keep their entry list and audit trail.
- Can we collect entries at the field?
- Yes — share the signup link as a QR code and parents enter on their own phones. Anyone without a phone can be added manually by whoever is managing the raffle.
- Is a 50/50 drawing legal for a booster club?
- It depends on your state and sometimes on your county. Many states treat 50/50 draws as charitable gaming and require the organization to qualify, register or hold a license. Check your state’s rules first — we cover the mechanics of the draw, not the permission to hold one.
- What if more than 100 parents enter?
- Upgrade that raffle for a one-time $25 and the entrant limit comes off, along with CSV export for your treasurer, multiple winners, new signup alerts and payment reminder emails. Other raffles stay free.
