Holiday Gift Bags for 500 Kids

A gift bag for every kid in the league: a beanie, gloves, a hoodie in their size and a new ball, handed out at the December 19 party.

Priced as one real production order by Merch.com — decoration, tax, delivery and fulfillment all in the goal.

Every December we throw a party for the whole league in the Washington Middle School gym. This year we want every one of our 500 kids to walk out with a real gift bag.

Each bag has a knit beanie and touchscreen gloves, a North Pine hoodie in the kid's own size (the coaches have been collecting sizes for a month), a new basketball or soccer ball, and a candy cane, obviously.

Our parents told us the hoodie is the thing. The kids wear their league shirts everywhere, and a hoodie means they can keep wearing it through a Milwaukee winter.

$28 covers a whole bag. Bags are packed by the 8th graders the week before the party.

How backing works

Every dollar becomes goods

This goal is a real production order, priced before the drive went live — the items above, with decoration, tax, delivery and fulfillment in the number. The goal is the order.

Funded means made

When the bar fills, production starts. North Pine Youth League never has to chase invoices or manage a vendor — the goods just arrive.

Every outcome counts

Land short of the goal and North Pine Youth League still gets merchandise scaled to what was raised. Sail past it and the extra becomes credit toward what they need next. Nothing raised here goes to waste.
