At the heart of B3 lies a passion for the sport, and in particular the amateur game, and we know how important money is to each and every club to keep it running. Over the last year or so we have been offering clubs the chance to raise some well needed cash, through our bat raffle scheme.
The concept is simple – we provide you with a bat at material cost and a raffle poster – and you sell the squares for as much or as little as you like. As the prize is something that everyone wants, and not a random hamper or bottle of wine – the squares don’t hang around for long.
We have had clubs raise upto £1000, but the normal amount is £300 – £400
Dont just take our word for it however, this is what David Kuhlwilm, from Oslo Cricket Club had to say after picking up his second raffle bat;
“As a club made up almost entirely of expats, and without our own ground or clubhouse, fundraising has always been an essential part of keeping our club up and running. Previously we’ve done everything from meat raffles to cricket themed team building days, but often the simplest fundraisers are the most effective and this has proved to be the case with our end of season raffles. While previously the raffles have always brought in some much needed income, in the last two years we’ve cleared 400 pounds and that’s largely down to the tremendous raffle bat offer B3 Cricket have been running.
With a room full of cricket lovers nothing else seems to loosen the purse strings quite like a brand new cricket bat, especially after they’d all seen last years winner put his to good use this season. Thanks to all at B3 for this generous offer.”
Whats more is that we will give you a raffle bat for free if you purchase 15 playing shirts (cost of £240) which should be easily cleared by raffling off the bat.
