No More Car Washes. No More Candy Sales.
Youth sports cost families an average of $1,016 per child per year. Parents are already stretched thin on time and money. Your fundraising shouldn't add to the burden.
Party Book turns team fundraising into community events — events families actually want to attend, and that actually raise real money.
The Real Cost of Playing
Between registration fees, equipment, travel, and uniforms, youth sports cost families over $1,000 a year on average — and that number keeps climbing. Nearly one in five families has pulled a child out of a sport because they couldn't afford it.
Then comes the fundraising. Car washes where the same four parents show up. Candy bar sales where the boxes come home and never leave. Product catalogs nobody wants. Hours of effort that generate a few hundred dollars at best — and put all the pressure on the same volunteers who are already doing everything.
Not every family can sell the same amount. Not every family has the same network. Traditional fundraising creates friction, awkwardness, and inequity — and it takes away from what matters: the game.
Every kid deserves to play. The problem isn't the families — it's the fundraising model.
Fundraising That Builds Your Team
Party Book turns fundraising into team bonding. Parents host events for the team community — and every ticket sold funds equipment, travel, and tournaments. No car washes required.

“Sport has the power to transform the lives of young people, but only if we can solve the access and affordability challenges that keep too many kids on the sidelines.”
