Fundraising for grassroots sports is often a challenge for local clubs and teams, but Pontardawe Town AFC found a game-changing solution in Spond Superdraw. After successfully raising £2,000 in the Halloween Superdraw, the club is encouraging other grassroots clubs and teams to take advantage of Easter Superdraw, which is now live and providing another vital boost to grassroots funds.
A Club with a Clear Vision
Pontardawe Town AFC, a proud member of the Ardal SW League, has been a fixture of Welsh football for over a decade. With more than 200 members, including a thriving academy, the club is constantly working to improve its infrastructure. Raising funds for new dugouts was a priority, and after hearing positive reviews from other clubs, they decided to give Spond Superdraw a try.
Kevin Hodder, Head of Academy at Pontardawe Town, recalls the club’s introduction to this new way of fundraising for grassroots sports:
“We heard about Spond Superdraw through a promo in the app, and it immediately caught our attention. The setup was incredibly simple, and the ability to track progress made a big difference. We raised 50% of what we needed and secured sponsorship for the rest – a fantastic outcome.”
How Spond Superdraw Made Fundraising for Grassroots Sports Easier
Some methods of fundraising for grassroots sports can be complicated, but Pontardawe Town found Spond Superdraw to be refreshingly simple. Their fundraising campaign was easy to set up, and the club appreciated how efficiently they could track sales. The overall engagement was impressively high, with both members and supports finding it simple and convenient.
Kevin emphasised the importance of an online-first approach:
“The ability to enter online is key. Every nominated fundraiser gets their own personalised page to share with family and friends. Admin-wise, everything is done for you – payments, tracking, prize distribution – and there are reminders to keep momentum going. It’s a game-changer for fundraising.”
By using Spond Superdraw, Pontardawe Town successfully raised half of their target amount and secured the remaining funds through sponsorship. The seamless process, developed specifically to support fundraising for grassroots sports, helped them avoid many of the common pitfalls of traditional fundraising methods, such as handling cash, chasing payments, and manually tracking contributions.
