Spirit wear fundraising for Villa Park schools
Spirit wear fundraising for Villa Park booster clubs and school programs. No minimum order, nothing bought up front, and 20% of total order value.
Villa Park is the smallest city in Orange County by population, and Villa Park High is an Orange Unified school serving a catchment considerably wider than the city itself. A club here is working with a small local community and a school whose families come from further afield.
Small is the operative word for how a store should be built. With a limited buying population, the instinct to offer more products is precisely wrong: forty items split across a few hundred families produces no volume on any of them, while eight or ten items people actually wear produce real orders.
It is also the situation where a bulk order is most dangerous. A large program can absorb unsold stock; a small one cannot, and the club that most needs the money is the one least able to eat a wrong size guess. Print-on-demand removes that exposure entirely because nothing is produced until it is bought.

What we handle, and what you do
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. 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. 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. We promote it
Text and email campaigns to your opted-in families, timed to season launch, playoffs, senior night and the winter holidays.
5. You get paid
20% of total order value, remitted on a set schedule. A share of what the store sells, not a share of margin after costs.
Questions from Villa Park clubs
- Is our program too small for a store to be worth it?
- Possibly, and we will say so on a call rather than after. Revenue scales with the families a store reaches. What does not change at any size is the risk, which is nothing, because no stock is purchased up front.
- How many products should a small program offer?
- Eight to ten rather than forty. A small buying population spread across a wide catalog produces no volume on any single item.
