Contests can be done at half time or before the football game in an effort to increase attendance and raise funds at the same time. A numbered ticket can be given to fans as they enter the gate if this is an effort just to increase attendance, or chances sold if this is a fundraiser. If used as a fundraiser, then sell tickets for several weeks before the event. A grand prize and secondary prizes are donated by local businesses. Advertisements including newspaper ads promote the event and the sponsors. Tickets are drawn at random and 1-6 contestants will get the chance to win the prizes. Contests are a fun and memorable high school football fundraiser.

Field Goals and Football Kicks - Contestants have a chance to kick a field goal for the grand prize (donated by a local business). It can be a natural field goal, through the uprights or through a two-foot target hole in a sign.

Football Tosses - Contestants try to throw a football through a target hole in a sign from various yardages for a prizes.

When it comes to high school football fundraising, with some creativity you can easily come up with a great event. Anything that relates to the sport, will likely be a fun and profitable event.
