Team Fundraising Ideas for Sports Teams in Canada

We all know sports build more than just skills and teamwork—they also build voracious appetites for kids and teens! With many sports teams looking to raise money this year, a food fundraiser is an excellent solution. That’s where Mom’s Pantry comes in. 

We offer various treats and hearty foods perfect for fundraising sports teams. If you have a few extra dollars in your fundraising budget, host a cookout! Every supporter who fills a Mom's Pantry order gets a free plate of food.

Below are several unique (and delicious!) ideas for team fundraising, perfect for funding the next tournament trip!

Team Potluck: A Feast Fit for a Team

Rooted in the traditions of Indigenous peoples, potlucks are an essential Canadian custom. Potluck fundraisers are also a delicious way for kids on sports teams to bond while working toward a common goal. Team members can sign up to order and bring their favourite dish, while guests can pay a small entry fee at the door to take part in the event.

Still trying to decide what to bring? Teams can place a group order with Mom’s Pantry. With a wide variety of popular and delicious dishes, such as pizza, pierogies, and our new Idahoan Mashed Potatoes, there’s sure to be something for everyone! 

Bring the Heat with BBQ

A sizzling team fundraising idea is hosting a team barbeque, perfect for celebrating an outstanding game! After all, nothing brings a sports team together like a cookout with mouthwatering dishes. Team members and parents can even show off their skills on the grill in a friendly competition. Guests can pay a small entry fee or donation to enjoy the barbecue, while those who have already contributed won't need to.

Mom’s Pantry has a large selection of premium meats, spices, and rubs, perfect for any barbeque event. Try our all-new prepared meats, including our chicken wings and popcorn chicken. Perfect for a night that the team dads will be calling ‘legendary’ for years to come.

Team-Poutine Night

What's more delicious than a plate of crispy golden french fries smothered in savoury gravy and topped with squeaky cheese curds? How about a whole table of it, perfect for a fundraising feast? It’s no secret that poutine is one of Canada’s most loved dishes, and for good reason.

For a fun and easy team fundraising idea for Canadian sports teams, why not host a ‘team poutine’ night? Team members who have already placed orders can invite friends and family to join, then charge a small entrance fee at the door.

Looking for poutine options you can count on? Mom’s Poutinerie has you covered. Shop our fries, Montreal poutine sauce, and cheese curds. We also offer an all-new gluten-free and vegan BBQ-style gravy
