Fundraising Ideas
SYNOPOD is High Return FundraisingDeeper Engagement. Say goodbye to the days of bottle drives, raffle tickets and bake sales. Fundraising with SYNOPODs is hassle free, allowing your school, team or organization to raise more money in less time while creating deeper ties with your fans, guests and people in the community.
High Returns. Order and resell customized SYNOPODs to fans at your team store, school or club fundraising event. Or get the SYNOPODs branded with your fundraiser theme and hand them out to your gala guests, lighting up each of the eight LED zones in succession as you surpass set levels of donation and bring a sense of ‘lite-citement’ to your fundraiser.
Fundraising for School Sports Teams
SYNOPOD is an easy fundraising idea for school sports teams.
For the School, For the Team. Decide on a school-wide fundraiser that takes the total raised and uses those funds to benefit all the different teams at your school or have just a team fundraiser that benefits one team and those who support it. Don’t forget that SYNOPODs can be easily rebranded for use with the different sports teams and events at your school, creating many different type of opportunities for annual and ongoing fundraising.
Create Excitement. Design a fundraising campaign that creates excitement around having the SYNOPOD LED system transform your games and events with light shows for students, alumni and fans. This can be done by creating a SYNOPOD fundraising campaign on your school or team website and/or on social media so that students, teachers, parents and members of the community can see how SYNOPOD will transform the game experience at your school.
Take Orders Before Placing Orders. To avoid the risk of falling short with sales and losing money, set your price for the SYNOPODs and then pre-sell them during your school fundraiser. While you may wish to order some extra PODs and sell them later on to those who missed out on the fundraiser, ordering what has been paid for upfront leaves you with a higher fundraising yield and reduces the risk of losses.
Risk Free Sales. Because SYNOPODs are encoded to your specific DMX controller at our factory, SYNOPODs cannot be bought directly in small numbers by your fans. You purchase the SYNOPODs in volume at factory direct prices and then mark them up and resell them to your fans to raise money. You can also benefit from ongoing fundraising opportunities by selling re-branded SYNOPOD rings, lanyards, bags and other accessories throughout the school year.
Take Delivery, Hand Them Out and Light Them Up. SYNOPODs will ship directly from our factory to your school or any address you enter into our ordering system. You will need to organize a distribution event so that your fans can pick up their SYNOPODs and use them at your next game. Don’t forget that SYNOPOD is all about engagement across the school, so having a dedicated POD Squad set up along with excellent support and mentorship from teachers and staff will be critical to making the SYNOPOD system a successful part of your school sports culture for years to come.

Design your fundraiser. You first need to design your fundraising campaign around the excitement of having SYNOPOD LED devices transform the game experience for your fans. To do this, use the free SYNOPOD demo video in your fundraising campaign on the team website and on social media so that both friends of the team, fans of your team and members of the community at large can see how SYNOPOD will help you raise money and make their game experience more exciting.
Take The Orders Before Placing The Orders. Pre-sell SYNOPODs for your team fundraiser so that you can avoid any risk of falling short with sales and losing money. You may wish to order some extra SYNOPODs and sell them later on to those who missed out on the fundraising event. Ordering what was paid for upfront leaves you with a higher fundraising yield and reduces your risk of loss.
Risk Free Sales. SYNOPODs are encoded to your DMX controller at our factory so they cannot be bought directly by your fans through our online store. This leaves you risk free, as you purchase SYNOPODs at factory direct prices in volume and mark them up to resell them to your fans and raise money. You also benefit from ongoing fundraising opportunities by selling re-branded SYNOPOD rings, bags and other accessories throughout the season.
Take Delivery, Pass Them Out and Get Lit. SYNOPODs ship directly from our factory to any address you enter into our system. You will need to organize a SYNOPOD distribution event so that your fans can pick up their SYNOPODs and use them at your next game. Don’t forget that you will need to have an active and capable POD Squad to make the SYNOPOD system a successful part of your team game experience for years to come.

Working With Sponsors
Sponsorships can add a lot to your fundraising efforts.
Community Engagement. Businesses are always looking for ways to advertise and sponsorships are a great way to do that while creating benefits for the community. SYNOPODs are designed for custom branding, making them an ideal platform for sponsors who want to engage your fans or guests while contributing to something fun and transformative.
Sponsor Branded SYNOPODs. Once a sponsorship deal has been reached you can include your sponsor branding along with your event or team name and colours on the silicone POD rings and lanyards. In addition to the profit you will make on each SYNOPOD by selling them or using them for your fundraiser, sponsorship money will benefit your cause, school, team, or organization by reducing your costs and yielding higher fundraising amounts.

Take One for the Team
Fans, friends and parents will line up at your fundraiser to buy a custom branded SYNOPOD and raise money for your school, team or club.
Set a price to pre-sell the devices and then place the order on us. Once the devices arrive, hand them out and get the POD Squad to light up the fans at all of your home and away games.
Profits raised from the sale of SYNOPODs can help buy new uniforms, pay for team travel, fund equipment purchases, cover tournament fees, and reduce other team related costs.
It’s all for a Good Cause
Hold a 50/50 draw at your game or event to fundraise for your team, for a special cause or to donate back to the community.
Inspire larger donation amounts at annual benefits, galas or auction nights by lighting up a new POD zone each time a certain level of donation has been reached.
Generate awareness and get good press. Raising money for good social causes is something everyone can get behind and will help to raise your community profile.
Make it an Annual Event
Hold an annual SYNOPOD fundraiser for your team to replace lost POD-Rings, lanyards, and to outfit all of your new fans.
Lanyards and POD-Rings are easily updated for a new season with a different logo or branding, creating an opportunity to keep your fans engaged and supporting your team.
Selling SYNOPODs to raise money or using them for an annual fundraising campaign brings quick returns, selling fans something of enduring value and guests a chance to donate in a fun way.
