Team fundraisers
Build logs about Football Squares, Locker Room Fund and fundraising for teams.
- Each family's results email now leads with their own week
Weekly results now greet each family by name, show how their own entries did, reply to the team, and arrive at 7 AM the morning after.
- Every week of the Points Pool on one page
Locker Room Fund's Points Pool now shows the season as a row per week: pick ahead, watch the live board, and replay any finished week.
- Pool winners can now give their prize back to the team
Locker Room Fund's Points Pool lets each cash winner collect their prize or donate it, and the standings show what came back to the team.
- Moving a team's pool over in the middle of the season
A youth team's points pool came over mid-season with its players, its past winners and the way it already collects money.
- Locker Room Fund is free for teams, and now it has a tip jar
An optional Chip in link for families who want to help keep Locker Room Fund free. It goes to the app, never the team.
- What happens after the Squares digits are drawn
A game-day email with your numbers, results the next morning, a choice to collect or donate a win, and a plan for a game that gets canceled or moved.
- Squares now lets families hold first and pay second
Hold squares before paying, fix a payment that came in short or over, take a square back, and tag each square to the player it's for.
- A share kit, email previews and households for team admins
A link, QR code, flyer and graphic for every pool, a preview of each email families get, and one sign-in that can play for the whole household.
- Less chasing for the volunteer who runs the pool
Fix pool settings before the first deadline, see every payment in one list, get a morning email when payments wait, and let pick reminders send themselves.
- Game day goes live in every Locker Room Fund pool
While the games are on, every pool shows live totals, who's through and the square that's winning, then hands out awards and a card for the team chat.
- A fundraiser demo you can actually play
Take a seat as a parent on a made-up team, pretend to pay, make your picks and replay a real week of all four games.
- Locker Room Fund gets a look of its own
A name stenciled on athletic tape, every team in its own colors, and a logo upload that sets those colors for you.
- Pick'em, Survivor and Squares join Locker Room Fund
Locker Room Fund now runs four season-long football games a team can use as a fundraiser. Here is how each new one plays.
- From my kids' hockey fundraisers to Locker Room Fund
What started as football squares for my kids' hockey teams grew into Locker Room Fund, a home for team fundraiser games. Here's the whole story.
- Live score, and the square that's winning right now
On game day a Football Squares board shows the score, lights up the square that's winning, and names a tentative winner as each quarter ends.
- Prizes lock once the season starts
On a Football Squares board, the price locks at the first sale and the prizes lock at the first draw, with no override for anyone.
- A test board that only ever emails me
Football Squares has a test board and unlisted boards, so a season can be rehearsed without a single family getting an email they shouldn't.
- Households: one login for the whole family
One sign-in can play for a spouse and the kids in Football Squares, admins can combine duplicate sign-ups, and a merged member keeps both email addresses.
- One payment covers every square you picked this visit
Football Squares names each square as you tap it, lets you keep adding before you pay once, and tells you when an admin moves or takes back a square.
- A welcome email and a team roster for every board
New members get one email that explains the whole season, and families can tag each square with the player it supports.
- Winnings nobody collects go to the team after 60 days
Winners choose to donate or collect. Four reminders go out over a month, and a prize still unclaimed at 60 days goes to the team.
- Every Football Squares email wears the team's colors
Payment confirmations, a game-day email with your numbers and a personal results email, all in the team's colors, with replies going to the team.
- Getting every family on the board, cash payers included
A flyer, a QR code and a social graphic for every board, plus a way for an admin to sign up and seat the family that pays cash.
- Claim a square, pay the team, get confirmed
How buying a square works in Football Squares: your squares are held while you pay, and the admin can fix a payment that doesn't match.
- How a season of Football Squares runs itself
One board, seventeen Monday nights, numbers drawn once on game day, and a fixed prize every paying quarter. Here are the rules it runs on.
