Spirit wear fundraising in Downey

Team store fundraising for Downey booster clubs. One unified district, two large high schools, and a straightforward approval route.

Downey is the simple case, and it is worth saying so plainly because most of what is written about school fundraising assumes complications that do not exist here. One unified district runs the schools from elementary through high school, and two large comprehensive high schools carry most of the athletic and performing arts programs the city's booster clubs support.

That means the approval question has one answer and the club can get to the actual work quickly. It also means the two high schools are the whole picture competitively — families identify with one or the other, and a store that tries to serve both at once will feel like neither.

Where clubs here do lose money is timing rather than paperwork. Two large programs running full seasons produce a small number of dates when families are actually thinking about buying, and a store that opens in August and is never mentioned again misses every one of them.

Districts serving Downey

Any use of a school name, logo or mascot is the district’s to license, so the first step is knowing which office owns the mark you want to print.

  • Downey Unified School District. A single unified district covering the city's schools from elementary through high school, so approval and policy come from one office.

What we handle, and what you do

  1. 1. You send colors, marks and rosters

    Along with written confirmation from the district that the club may use the school name and logo. That is the entire job on your side.

  2. 2. We build and you approve

    We design the range and the storefront. The range you approve is the range that sells for the rest of the season, so this is the point to be fussy.

  3. 3. We print, ship and support

    Each order is produced after it is bought and shipped direct to that buyer. No sorting, no distribution day, no leftover sizes.

  4. 4. We promote it

    Text and email campaigns to your opted-in families, timed to season launch, playoffs, senior night and the winter holidays.

  5. 5. You get paid

    Up to 20% of total order value, remitted on a set schedule, with reporting your treasurer can reconcile.

Questions from Downey clubs

Who do we ask for permission to use the school logo?
Downey Unified. One district covers the city's schools, so there is a single office to ask and a single written permission to keep on file.
Should the two high schools share a store?
No. Families buy their own school, and a shared store weakens the identity that makes people buy in the first place. Separate stores cost nothing extra to run.
When should a Downey club launch a store?
Ahead of the season rather than during it, and with promotion planned against the dates families actually buy — the first home game, homecoming, the first cold week and the playoff run.

Nearby cities we cover

These share a district with Downey, which means a shared approval process and often a shared calendar.
