Dynamic New Crowd-Funding Campaign from US Team Swag Helps Amateur Community Sports Leagues Fund Clothing, Equipment and Fees for Their Teams and Players

Ancaster, ON -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/22/2014 -- Do you know that one third of North American families cannot afford to get their kids into a simple uniform to play team sports? Sad, but true. US Team Swag is doing something about that.

A portion of Team Swag’s on-line store sales of clothing, accessories, equipment and swag (souvenirs, wearables and gifts) goes back to the teams to help with their operating costs, a portion of which is used to help young people (and adults) pay their entry fees for participation.

Established and successful in Canada, Team Swag’s new US operations have gone to crowd-funding to help bring their benefits to the larger US market. So far, they’ve enabled hundreds of kids to get away from their televisions and computers, get out on the field or the ice, and be active! Read: healthy and engaged.

A total of 20% of each sale made through Team Swag’s on-line stores is paid back (they call it “Played Forward”) into community sports organizations, from leagues to teams to individuals, enabling everyone to play. The teams enjoy a donation of 15% of all sales, which they in turn use for the purchase of attire, equipment, travel and other costs of running a community amateur sports organization. The funds are also used to enable players who want to join, but lack the income to afford participation.

The other 5% is returned to individual on-line store patrons in the form of credits toward future purchases, which encourages them to buy again, and then the 15% goes to the teams and players. To date, Team Swag Canada has seen many thousands of dollars go back to community teams and players.

Please visit us at Fundrazr to make a donation; you’ll get rewards for your contribution and enjoy the pride of helping ensure that “everybody plays”.
