Between gym time, travel tournaments, new jerseys, and league fees, a basketball season adds up fast. Premier Fundraiser gives your team a simple way to cover those costs without asking players and parents to dig deeper into their own pockets. Our basketball team fundraisers let your group pre-sell Creamies Ice Cream, a treat almost everyone says yes to, so you spend less time convincing people to buy and more time filling out order sheets.
A basketball season brings its own list of expenses: court time, referee fees, travel to away games and tournaments, new uniforms every couple of seasons, and the occasional replaced hoop net or backboard pad. Bake sales and car washes can only cover so much of that. That’s why so many basketball programs turn to Premier Fundraiser when they need basketball team fundraisers that actually move the needle.
Our ice cream program works because Creamies is a product families already want. Parents, grandparents, neighbors, and hometown fans buy in fast, which means your players spend more time on the court and less time pushing a sale nobody asked for. Whether you’re funding a summer travel league or covering entry fees for a weekend tournament, this program was built to fit a basketball team’s schedule and budget.
We partner with well-known, reliable brands to ensure your fundraiser is a success. Currently, we’re excited to feature Creamies. We are currently featuring a variety pack with Chocolate, Banana, and Orange Creamies!
The process is simple. Your team pre-sells boxes of Creamies Ice Cream, collects payment upfront, and hands out the ice cream to your buyers on one set delivery day. There’s no inventory to store and no upfront cost to your program. You pay Premier $18 per box at delivery, and your team keeps $12 of every $30 box sold as profit.
Each box holds 24 individually wrapped ice cream bars, so buyers get a treat their whole family can share, and your program gets a fundraiser people are actually excited to support.
A good share of our basketball business comes from school programs, not just travel and rec leagues. Booster clubs, PE departments, and school athletic programs lean on school basketball team fundraisers to close the gap between what a district budget covers and what a competitive season actually costs. We work with junior high and high school basketball programs the same way we work with youth leagues: a straightforward pre-sale, a dedicated account manager, and marketing materials that make it easy for students, parents, and coaches to spread the word.
Because Creamies is a product every family in the school community already recognizes, school basketball team fundraisers tend to move quickly. Teachers, staff, and fellow students are often some of the easiest sales a team makes, and that built-in audience helps programs hit their goals without stretching the season out for months.
Running a season is enough work on its own, so we built our program to take the guesswork out of fundraising.
Track orders, manage your list of sellers, and keep everything organized from kickoff to delivery in one platform.
You get one point of contact who knows your program and keeps your fundraiser on schedule.
Flyers, order sheets, and social media materials are ready to go, so your coaches and team parents aren't starting from scratch.
Over 90% of the groups we work with come back for another fundraiser, which says a lot about how basketball programs feel about their results after the first season.
Premier Fundraiser is based in Utah and delivers to basketball teams across Utah and Idaho. From youth rec leagues to school programs, teams in both states have used our Creamies program to fund travel tournaments, new uniforms and gym time without adding another car wash to the calendar.
We know the tournament schedule here and the distances between towns, so we can plan a delivery day that works for your program. Outside Utah and Idaho? Contact us to ask whether we deliver to your area.
A pre-sale is usually the easiest option. Players take orders and collect payment before anything is delivered, then everyone picks up their Creamies on one delivery day. There’s nothing to store, no concession stand to staff, and no upfront cost to your program.
Set a goal tied to your tournament costs, like entry fees, hotels and gas, and schedule the pre-sale a few weeks before those bills are due. Because supporters pay upfront, the money is in hand when registration closes. Players can share the flyers and social posts we provide with family, neighbors and coworkers.
Yes. A booster club can run one pre-sale for several teams, such as boys’ and girls’ varsity, JV and freshman squads. Sales are tracked in our order-tracking software, so the club can see what each team sold, and your Premier representative can set separate pickup times for each team if needed.
The more players who sell, the faster your team reaches its goal, so most teams ask every player to take part. Your account manager can help you set a per-player goal based on what you need to raise, and let you know whether there’s a minimum order for your group.
The best time is usually before the season starts or ahead of a big tournament, when uniform and travel costs come due. Keep the selling window to two or three weeks so momentum doesn’t fade, then hold one delivery day for the whole team.
Your team keeps $12 of every $30 box sold. Supporters make their checks out to your team, club or school, never to Premier. At delivery, your group pays Premier $18 per box with one cashier’s check or organizational check made out to Premier Fundraiser. If your school uses a purchase order system, we’ll gladly work with it.
