How to Donate Cash for High School Baseball

by ChristineL

Overview

Donating to a high school baseball team not only helps the community but is also a very rewarding experience. High school baseball teams are usually self-sustained, so they have to find ways to raise funds. Often, they look to the community to support their team.

Step 1

Locate a local high school baseball team. All public high schools have baseball teams. You can also contact area private schools to determine whether they have a school team.
Step 2

Contact the coach. The coach not only is the motivator and trainer but also serves as the head of fund-raising. Look on the high school's website. If the coach's contact information is not listed, contact the school's receptionist.
Step 3

Determine a time to bring the money to the coach. High school baseball coaches are available before and after practice. This is a great time to donate. You can meet the team at the same time. Remember, during practice, the coach is busy with the team. Try not to interrupt practice, as the team needs this time for game preparation.
Step 4

Ask for a receipt. It is very important that the coach give you a receipt for your donation. The receipt not only shows that you donated but also ensures that your money will be deposited.

1
Always ask for a receipt if the coach does not volunteer one. Seal the money in an envelope to secure the bills. Hand the money to the coach personally; it is important to ensure that the coach receives the money.
