From Plush Toys to Collectibles: Fun Fundraising Ideas for Quincy High Teams

Fundraising is a part of participating in school clubs and teams. Money needs to be raised so that the group or team can have newer, nicer things, or to be able to travel to places well beyond conference locales.

How much do you need this time?

For years now, fundraisers have focused on frozen pizza, flavored popcorn, cookie dough, donated items to bid on at an event, or a traditional raffle. Pair these items with events hosted by a club or team to raise money and perhaps you can reach your pre-set goal. Perhaps there is a different approach to take.

As big as Quincy is on tradition, basketball and the Blue Devils, why not purchase Quincy Blue Devil items to sell to boosters and or the public to raise money? There are several different avenues of merchandise that people probably would happily buy to support the club or team.

Quincy High School

Blue Devil Plush Toy – This would be something that kids of all ages would love to have next to stuffed animals that are already on your kids' bed, on an office table, or in a classroom. You could even modify in different years with the Blue Devil holding a basketball, football or other specific club or team element.

Blue and White Balls -  Blue and white basketballs and footballs whether official game size (perfect for autographs) or undersized, or plastic or Nerf-like versions. There are many ways to get Blue Devil balls for sale for kids to play with or collect.

Blue Devil Mini Helmet – Mini football helmets are collectible things. Perfect for man cave shelves, offices or anywhere. Have them made up of current or older, historical team design styles.

Plastic Kids Pitchfork – This one would go over big. Fans of all ages have imagined themselves thrusting the blue devil pitchfork into the air. A formed plastic pitchfork isn’t something I’ve seen yet, but I can visualize a student section all hoisting these skyward at games.

Action Figure of the current Blue Devil – Each school year, a new Blue Devil is chosen to emerge and hype up the crowd at home basketball games. In an era where you can get action figures made of anyone, why not get a mounted (with name of student) Blue Devil in costume to collect each year.

Limited editions of each of these items only make them that much more desirable and collectible. Fundraisers anywhere are being challenged to grab the attention of those who may help fund a club or team. The Quincy Blue Devil is iconic on many levels. This list is just a jumping off point. Blue Devil Funko Pops, bobbleheads, etc. Get creative and watch the vibe around the club and team change.
