Add Football Tunnels to Your List of Fundraising Ideas!

Add Football Tunnels to Your List of Fundraising Ideas!

Here's a Unique Fundraising Idea!

Are you tired of doing the same old fundraising ideas every year. Let's see.... pizzas, wrapping paper and candy. The list goes on and on and they have one thing in common...Tiresome!

You're probably wondering what inflatable sports tunnels, football tunnels and inflatable mascots have to do with with simple fundraising ideas. But the truth is, you're about to find out about a great way to raise funds AND raise team spirit by doing something everyone will enjoy.

Have you ever seen big league players charging onto the field or court through an inflatable sports tunnel? There's the anticipation of watching and waiting...in many cases you will first see a few minutes of fog coming out of the front and then as anticipation grows, here comes your favorite team charging out of the tunnel!

These football tunnels come in all shapes and sizes and they are custom designed to match your team colors and graphics. But...can you really make money?

It's simple. All the tunnels are designed to hold advertising banners. Before you even buy your tunnel, post a letter to local businesses providing a chance to advertise their business at the start of each game. Before you know it, you'll have plenty money to purchase your sports tunnel...and you'll make an income year after year without having to do anything at all.

Organizations sell ads in yearbooks & school papers and most companies run an ad knowing they're just supporting the school. They really don't expect much business off of it. But an inflatable Mascot Tunnel, Inflatable football or even a basic entrance tunnel is SO different. It's like having a huge billboard right out there in front of a captive audience.

Customized tunnels generally begin at around $3000.00 and run up to $7500.00 or so for an Inflatable Mascot or Football Helmet tunnel. If your fundraising budget isn't that high, speak to a couple of local businesses and see if they'll make the buy for you, in exchange for special advertising. You might offer to do a few announcements at each of the games, "Our brand new entrance tunnel is made possible by our Area Business leaders". Basically they will be prepaying their advertising and you just collect before instead of later.

When you're thinking of a sports entrance tunnel, don't just think games. You can use your tunnel to generate publicity for your team and advertisers in all kinds of ways. Fairs, Festivals, Large corporate Events, Community Days and trade shows are just a few of the sites that you can place your tunnel. And people will love it. Let the kids move through the tunnel just like the players or just set up a table at the entrance and talk to customers about your school or product.

Whichever you do, make sure to add football tunnels to your list of fundraising ideas this year! For more information on sports tunnels & football tunnels, visit www.sportscentralcreations.com

What will inflatable Sports Tunnels do for YOUR Team's Spirit!


What Will Inflatable Sports Tunnels Do for YOUR Team's Spirit ?

Sports Entry Tunnels are the BEST Way to Promote Your Team.

Everyone knows how exciting it can be to see football players run onto the field. But isn't it even more exciting to think of them running through a tunnel, just like the most professional of teams?

Inflatable sports tunnels are now available for all types of events and for any budget. And they come in all shapes and sizes too! Imagine a giant football player (in your team's colors) standing over a huge entry tunnel. Or how about a huge inflatable football helmet as the front for the entrance tunnel. You can even have your team mascot made up into a giant inflatable standing over a cool sports entrance tunnel...in matching colors!


Can you imagine the roar of the crowd as the cameras start snapping and memories are captured of your favorite team running out of the tunnel? As the crowd gazes upon the teams new sports tunnel feelings of PRIDE, ENTHUSIASM AND TEAM SPIRIT begin to stir inside, it's really almost too much to contain. You'll find it amazing to see how much energy is activated with a custom Sports Central inflatable entrance tunnel.

Many times smaller schools don't feel like they can afford an entry tunnel, but they don't always look at the total picture. Area sponsors will quite often want to be a part of this atmosphere of excitement and enthusiasm and they will be willing to pay for ad space on the entrance tunnel. They know the captive audience will not only remember the team running through the tunnel...but also the name of the sponsor on the side. Sports Central Creations offers sponsorship banners on teams blast tunnels and this will help to pay much if not all of the tunnels cost.

Team tunnels can be customized to match team colors, graphics and logos and of course schools can supply their own graphics and those of the sponsors to create a custom entrance tunnel that will WOW the fans.

Although inflatables are made to last these days, make sure to find a company that offers a solid 3 year warranty. And one that has been in business for a substantial amount of time. One company that seems really helpful is Sports Central Creations. They guarantee to offer the lowest price the industry for equal items AND they offer a great quality product with a full 3 year warranty on all their sports tunnels, inflatable football helmets and inflatable mascots.
