the Challenge
While the Central Arkansas University Softball team has boasted a .640 winning percentage since placing Head Coach Jenny Parsons at the helm, she and her staff identified a need for enhanced efficiency in their program. GoRout Diamond was an easy choice for the Bears — given its customizable nature and the varietal solutions it brings to the diamond — but the team needed help raising money for the system.
With less than a month between their decision to purchase the system and opening day, Coach was looking for an immediate solution.
the solution
The coaching staff and school administrators knew they needed a creative and effective strategy to rally support and secure the necessary funds. Enter TeamFi, a powerful fundraising platform designed to harness the power of community specifically for sports teams. TeamFi’s user-friendly interface and proven track record made it an easy suggestion for Central Arkansas' GoRout rep to make.
In order to fully outfit their entire defense, the Central Arkansas coaching staff set forth a fundraising goal of $10,000. Coach placed the emphasis of the fundraiser on urgency with the season rapidly approaching, and uniquely personal details of the team's makeup. From outlining the challenges of their upcoming season and defining the team's roster, to inviting donors to become a part of the program and sharing the 2025 schedule, the message of the fundraiser was creative and enticing.
the outcome
In just 14 days the Central Arkansas Softball team had fundraised $9,000 — just a tick shy of their original goal. Through the seamless accessibility of TeamFi fundraisers, and their hassle-free logistical approach, the team was able to receive support from 106 gracious donors. Every single penny was delivered to the Bears Softball program thanks to TeamFi's commitment to taking 0% of what a team raises!
The Bears will now enjoy the benefits of advanced communication and organization on the diamond this spring. They are positioned perfectly to take the next step forward in the upcoming season!
