In order to provide organized athletics for current and future families, NJAA must continue to raise funds to keep the association financially secure. Some of the expenses we face each year include gym rental, heating oil, officials’ fees, uniforms, grass seed, fertilizer and paint for ball fields, and trophies. Player registration fees offset some of these expenses, but certainly not all.

Fundraising at NJAA takes several forms. Concession stand revenues are critical for the bottom line of each of our sports. The dances we hold during the year, though tremendous fun for the kids, also serve as great fundraisers. Thursday night “Food on the Field” during baseball and softball season helps offset our costs for those sports and raises money for postseason play.

Finally, sponsors are an important and longstanding part of NJAA fundraising. The many partners who have worked with us over the years not only support our teams financially, but have often provided necessary services such as plumbing, electrical work, field maintenance and grading.

We are always interested to hear of new fundraising opportunities, so let us know of your ideas. If you can volunteer, please get in touch.
