A first-responder calendar hanging in the house

Picture day is the campaign

You already have picture day. We put it on a calendar parents buy instead of wrapping paper.

Travel ball, rec league, dance, band boosters. Parents already take the pictures. Three products — calendar, shirt, or keepsake — not a candy catalog. Parent permission on every kid.

Three campaigns. That is the whole menu.

Pick the fundraiser. Same photo machine.

Hickory Farms and Yankee Candle sell a catalog. That is one campaign with a hundred SKUs. Groups freeze. We run three photo campaigns a group can rotate — calendar, shirt, keepsake. Not five. Not one.

How it works

Boosters gather. We press.

  1. You gather photos Game shots, team picture, the field. A parent or guardian must OK every kid.
  2. We build one campaign The team name on the cover. Optional sponsor pages from the pizza place and the auto shop.
  3. Families order A private shop. Grandma wants two. We print and ship. No one is stuffing envelopes in the snack bar.
  4. The team gets paid $8 back per calendar or shirt, $5 a keepsake. Uniforms, travel, field fees — your call.

Who it’s for

Anyone with a roster and a group text.

Youth sports

Soccer, baseball, football, rec league. One season, one campaign.

Boosters and band

The adults who already sell the fruit. A calendar is the winter version.

Dance, cheer, martial arts

Studios with a recital and a Facebook page. Same machine. Parent permission still required.

Why this is honest

Little Lights is school and kids’ charities. This door is the sideline.

Youth sports already raises money all year. We do not replace the car wash. We add a photo product with the same split as the rest of the studio. Every kid photo needs a parent.
