Baseball Raffle Ideas

Whether you want to raise funds for your local baseball team or school club, or simply want to attract local sports fans, a baseball-themed raffle with prizes centering around the sport may catch plenty of attention. You can also offer baseball-themed prizes at any raffle. Chances are the raffle winner will know a baseball fan who would like the prize if the winner doesn't want it.

  1. Meet The Pros

    • Contact your nearest professional baseball team. Depending on how busy the team is, it might allow a raffle prize winner to spend a training session with the players. For the amateur player, it could be a good way to pick up tips about the game. If the winner doesn't want to train with the players, he might enjoy the opportunity to watch them up close. The team also may agree to let a raffle winner visit the dressing room before or after a game to meet the players.

    Baseball-Themed Basket

    • Put together a gift basket of baseball-themed items. If the basket is intended for kids, gifts could include baseball action figures, baseballs, gloves and baseball cards. A basket for adults could include baseball fact books, baseball caps, team jerseys and coffee mugs or glassware with a team's logo.

    Signed Items

    • A baseball, jersey or baseball glove signed by a star player or perhaps an entire team could draw raffle participants who are fans of the team. The signed item also might increase in value as time passes and it becomes collectible. If these items aren't available from a local team, they can be found at sports collector stores or online at sports auction websites.

    Game Tickets

    • Tickets to a big game can draw lots of interest at raffles. Stick to tickets for a local game. There probably will be more interest in them because potential winners are more likely to be able to attend the game. Ask the team if it's possible to get tickets to the best seats in the stadium.
