🚫💰 Attention high school athletes! Did you know that accepting donations like a GoFundMe could cost you your eligibility? 🏈🏀 Unlike college athletes, high schoolers can't just accept money without providing a service. It's crucial to understand the difference between legal compensation and illegal collectives.  Ronnie Bitman Athlete Agent #1537   Dan LaForest Athlete Agent #1564   #InfluencerCounsel #TeamCounsel #StudentAthlete #Sports #NILRules #HighSchoolAthletes

Behind the Gloves: Crafting Boxing Events for Change 🌍🥊 Ever wondered what it takes to put on a world-class boxing event with a charitable twist? Here’s what happens behind the scenes: 1/ Fighters: From amateur participants to retired pros, every fighter undergoes intense training to prepare for the big day. 2/ The Venue: Our team sets up state-of-the-art arenas, complete with drone technology for capturing every angle, bringing a dynamic and immersive experience for both live audiences and online viewers. 3/ The Cause: Months of preparation lead to a single night of excitement – but the impact lasts far longer. With 50% of proceeds going to global charities, each event brings real change to communities in need. But that’s not all! It’s also about building connections, inspiring personal growth, and fostering a spirit of giving back. Whether you’re in the ring or in the audience, you’re part of something bigger. PS: Get involved in our next event and experience the action – and the impact – firsthand.

NOT ASKING FOR MONEY, just sharing an interesting thought. Cool prizes don’t motivate people to share your brand/idea/cause or whatever else you are trying to promote. My football club, the Judean Rebels, is made up of multiple tackle and flag teams with hundreds of players and former players. I made an offer to the team captains: Whichever team raises the most money for our go-fund-me would get a customized pair of Air Force Ones. The mock-up looked sweet. The team captains were pretty into it. I thought it would be a home run. But then we ran into our first major problem: We couldn't convince any of the players to commit to raising anything. And the captains gave up. The result? 24 donations reaching about $1,500. So early this year my friend Daniel Freishtat reached out to me and asked me if I wanted to run a peer-to-peer fundraiser using CauseMatch. I told him I know everything about peer-to-peer, and believe me, it’s not for us. But we met anyway, and within a few minutes, we uncovered 5 different huge mistakes I had made. And what we could have done. So I took them up on it. And we’ll see if we can beat that $1,500 raised. And I am going to show you exactly how we do it in the following weeks. #fundraising #nonprofit #football
