    Do a spaghetti dinner drive thru. Sell tickets and supply, spaghetti, salad, dressing, bread and 2 liter of soda. It is very profitable.

    Car washes! Get a local business to donate their parking lot and water. You, the team and as many parents as possible get out there! Ask for 'donations', don't charge! Put the team in their uniform shirts, put some info and trophies on a table and talk it up. The team can make signs and stand on the corners directing cars to the car wash. We made $750 on a Saturday. Also, this is the time of the year for yard clean up, or clean out basements or carports...the team can ask their neighbors.

    See if you can get some semi-pro players to host a clinic and either sell tickets.

    Super great suggestions above...even gas cards make good raffle prizes. Jessica over at MittMate.com just started up a fundraising program for teams. It would work great if you will be at any tournaments or will host games at a field, etc. I believe she offers free shipping with promo code: STM017 - cool softball accessory players love and family members use for luggage, school bags, equipment bags, etc.
