SWSC 2017 Playbook Fundraiser FAQ’s
Q. Why is SWSC doing this fundraiser?
A. We are fundraising in order to financially support the current and future soccer needs of a
growing soccer program at SWSC.
Q. What is the fundraiser?
A. We are selling Playbooks which contain 48 coupons for local family-friendly restaurants.
Q. How much do Playbooks cost?
A. Each Playbook costs $20. Many of these coupons contain $5 discounts, so a $20 donation
can be recouped by using just 4 of the 48 coupons.
Q. How many Playbooks should I sell?
A. We are asking for players to sell at least 5 Playbooks each so we can meet our goal.
However, the more Playbooks that are sold, the more opportunities our club will be able to
provide moving forward.
Q. For how long can we sell and purchase Playbooks?
A. Each player will go home with 5 playbooks when the program is launched. Playbooks are
available for sale as of Saturday April 8th. The last day Playbooks will be available for
purchase is Sunday April 30th.
Q. When do coupons expire?
A. Coupons can be used immediately and do not expire until March 31st 2018.
Q. Are there any prizes for selling Playbooks?
A. Yes! Players can earn both individual as well as team prizes. There is a link on our web site
with details of the many exciting prizes available.
Q. Do I collect money right away or wait until the end of the program?
A. Each player will be given 5 Playbooks to start. Consider each Playbook a $20 bill.
Money should be collected when the Playbook is sold or ordered.
Q. What do I do with the money once I sell a Playbook?
A. Once a Playbook is sold, please hold on to the money until the last game/practice your team
has prior to April 30th. At that time, you should bring back all money collected, any unsold
Playbooks, and all orders for more Playbooks to your team manager.
Q. How can I keep track of the top individual and team sales?
A. At the end of each week, progress will be reported to your team manager. These sales will be
tallied for top individual as well as team sales which will be updated on our website
fundraising page regularly. Check it out on the SWSC web site at

Q. What do I do if I sell all 5 of my Playbooks and I would like to sell more?
A. There will be an order form included in your packet when you receive your Playbooks.
Please record the name/address of the person who has ordered and collect the $20 as new
Playbooks will need to be ordered. At the conclusion of the fundraiser April 30th, your team
manager will tally all of those players that have sold more than their allotted 5 Playbooks and
obtain additional Playbooks for distribution no later than the second week of May.
Q. What do I do with any unsold Playbooks?
A. It is very important to return any unsold Playbooks to your team manager as the club will be
charged $20 for any unsold Playbooks that are not returned.
Q. Do you have other ideas if we are having difficulty selling all 5 Playbooks?
A. As the value of the coupons is over $250 if they are used, Playbooks are frequently requested
by neighbors, friends and family. A Playbook can also make a great gift!
Q. Can I pay by check and if so, to whom should the check be made out?
A. Yes. Checks should be made out to SWSC.
Q. Whom do I contact if I have questions about this fundraiser?
A. As a first step, please contact your team manager who has received training on this
fundraiser. If your question cannot be answered, your manager will contact a fundraising
committee member to address your issue.
Q. Can I sell a Playbook to out of town friends and family and if so, how?
A. You can text SWSC to the number 25827 to your out of town friends and family. This will
provide them with a link to where they can buy a Playbook. They will then have access to
discounts provided by ~100 national companies. They can support you and SWSC by
accessing our fundraiser in this manner. Playbooks sold by texting are not included in the 5
Playbook level we are asking players to sell as a smaller profit to the club is derived from
online sales.
