“Every day it seems that there is another article about the increased cost of sports participation with pay-to-play fees and cuts in youth athletic programs,” said Dena Becker, Director of Marketing for Sportswear Inc.  “Considering that youth sports and their fans are the foundation of our business, we wanted to give back in a meaningful and ongoing basis.”  The company http://www.PrepSportswear.com established a goal in 2011 to work with as many schools and teams as possible, offering them a revenue source that could supplement shrinking budgets.  

Through the fundraising and partnership programs, schools and teams receive an easy, no cost solution to earn additional monies.  The company creates an online store for the school or team with 1,200 apparel and accessory items featuring the team name, colors, and mascot.  With a print-on-demand and just-in-time inventory model, groups aren’t required to purchase inventory up front.  Sportswear Inc. manages the e-commerce store and payment, order fulfillment, customer service, and shipping the completed product to the end customer.  There is no cost to the school or team.  Fundraisers and partners make a percentage of each sale that they send to their online store.
