Fundraising for football games has received a large boost with a high street sports retailer as a large donation was made to Football Buster’s £1m Grassroots goal project. As a result, Football Buster is now able to take applications from football clubs that are in need.
Last year www.footballbuster was launched and used as an empowerment tool for sports organizations and football clubs that are in need of fundraising efforts that can be pledged online.
Co-founder and Assistant manager of the Macclesfield Football Club, Gary Simpson, stated that no longer will football clubs be forced to go cap in hand looking for donations from local businesses or wealthy parents because now they can look for new revenue options.
Due to the unique football games and the £1m in donations the site has become quite popular among sports sponsors and football clubs which helped to inspire the latest large donation.
Nathan Griffin, the other co-founder, stated that this is a large breakthrough for grassroots football teams and proves that Football Buster is continuing to grow in popularity with many football clubs now following the example to set up football games online in order to raise the same funds that professional clubs gain access to.
Griffin added that they are working with a large football manufacturer and hope to provide football clubs that are fundraising with free footballs.
