Color Guard Car Magnets: A Powerful Fundraiser for These Unsung High School Performers
Color Guard Car Magnets: A Powerful Fundraiser for These Unsung High School Performers
When most people think of high school fundraisers, sports teams usually come to mind. But there’s one group that’s out there working just as hard—often with far less funding or recognition. We’re talking about color guard teams.
These students twirl flags, spin rifles, and dance their hearts out to bring life and movement to every halftime show and parade. And let’s be honest—without them, marching band performances just wouldn’t have the same magic. So if your school’s color guard is looking for a smart, low-stress way to raise money, custom color guard car magnets might be your new secret weapon.
Why Color Guards Need to Fundraise
Color guards don’t just grab a flag and show up. These teams spend hours practicing choreography, designing costumes, and preparing props for competitions. And unlike larger sports programs, they’re often funded entirely through booster clubs or the performers’ own families.
Here’s where the money goes:
- Custom uniforms and gloves
- Performance flags, rifles, and sabres
- Travel to regional and national competitions
- Props, backdrops, and equipment carts
- Winter Guard fees and costumes
It adds up quickly. That’s why finding a simple and profitable fundraiser is so important—something that won’t drain time, energy, or money from a team that’s already juggling rehearsals and academics.
Enter: Color Guard Car Magnets
This might just be the easiest fundraiser your team has ever run. Custom car magnets are:
- Affordable to produce
- Easy to sell (especially to proud parents and supporters)
- Long-lasting
- And they literally drive your team’s visibility around town
Here’s why they work:
- High profit margins: You can sell a magnet for $8 to $10. Depending on your order size, you’ll likely pay between $1.50 and $3.00 per magnet. Larger orders (500+) qualify for even better pricing.
- No expiration date: Unlike cookie dough or coupon books, magnets never go bad.
- School pride on display: Families and alumni love showing support on their cars, lockers, or fridge.
- No delivery drama: They’re small, lightweight, and easy to distribute.
And the best part? You can customize the design to reflect your team’s style—school colors, team name, even your own flag or rifle logo. At ARC Marketing, we help you design a bold, eye-catching magnet that feels just as unique as your team’s next routine.
Awareness and Spirit, Not Just Fundraising
One of the overlooked benefits of fundraising with custom car magnets is the awareness they create. Every time someone drives around with your magnet, it reminds people that your team exists—and that you’re out there putting in the work.
Color guards don’t always get the spotlight they deserve, but car magnets help them stay top-of-mind in the community. It’s more than just a fundraiser—it’s a flag on the field (or the bumper) saying, “Hey, don’t forget about us.”
