You’ve grown passionate about a cause, and you’ve been tapped to organize an upcoming fundraiser. You might be tempted to panic or stress, but it’s just not necessary. With 9 Square in the Air, you’ve got an easy springboard from which all other fundraising ideas can grow. 

The hard part of any fundraiser is getting people involved, but 9 Square in the Air is such a draw to kids and adults that it removes all difficulty. Let’s talk about some ways you might use it:

As Part of a Fitness Challenge: Raising money for a health-related cause? Consider a 9 Square in the Air play-a-thon. Encourage participants to recruit sponsors who will pay them a dollar amount for each 30-minute period of play. Another option is to have players ask sponsors to guess how many times they will get “out” in a two-hour play period. They pay that equivalent in dollars. 

Set up 9 Square in the Air to end the 30 days of fundraising, but include other activities, information booths and healthy snacks to round out your event. Offer additional avenues for donating money on the day of the closing event.

As Part of a Mental Health Awareness Fair: Playing games like 9 Square in the Air is fantastic for cultivating good mental health and making social connections. Use it to kick off 30 days of mental health awareness, then see if you can keep the game going for the full 30 days. Participants pay a dollar every time they get back in to the game.

While you may not be able to keep 9 Square in the Air going 24-7, you can probably schedule a game for 7 p.m. every night. Try to recruit a donor who will match the dollars raised if the game is played every day for 30 days.

Finish out your 30 days with a Mental Health Awareness Fair. Invite local clinics to set up a booth or bring treats for the participants. Offer take-home information about the mental health benefits of play. Ask for testimonials about the impact of exercise and play on an individual’s mental health.

As a Tournament for Any Cause: No matter where your passion lies, a 9 Square in the Air tournament is a great way to raise funds. Invite teams to pay a donation to participate in a tournament. In the 30 days before the big event, encourage teams to raise money through additional donations and have them compete to see who can bring in the most cash.

Add to the excitement by having teams dress according to a theme or competing for the best costumes. Award prizes for biggest donations and best-dressed team, then offer game advantages to the winners. 

On the day of the event, make it a big celebration with snacks, a photo booth, representatives from the cause you are supporting and plenty of fun decorations.
