Nonprofit Trivia Night Apparel: Team Tees, Volunteer Polos, Winner Prizes

Trivia nights are smaller-scale recurring fundraisers (50-100 attendees, $20-30 entry per person) that work well as a steady revenue line for nonprofits. Branded apparel adds visual identity to teams and a fundraising margin layer. Bear Grips Pro Shops prints team tees at $19.88 VIP base with custom team-name personalization, no minimum order, and free US shipping.

Team Tee Approach for Trivia Nights

• Team registration with tee bundle: Teams register with a team name and order tees as part of registration. Tees ship to the team captain pre-event.
• Customizable team name: Each team gets their custom team name printed on the back. Personalization configurable per order.
• Nonprofit logo on the front: Standard front-chest logo placement maintains visual consistency across all teams.
• Optional team-color coordination: Teams can pick their tee color from the catalog options. Visible competition signal.

For a 100-attendee trivia night with 15 teams averaging 6-7 players each, team tees at $25 retail with $5 margin generate $500 in apparel revenue beyond the entry fees.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do team tees get coordinated to the right team captain?

Team captain registers the team name and provides shipping address at checkout. The shop ships the tees directly to the captain. Captain distributes to teammates at the start of the trivia night.

Can the same tee design work for multiple trivia nights across the year?

The nonprofit logo design can stay consistent across multiple events, with the team-name personalization changing each event. Some nonprofits add a season identifier ("Spring 2026," "Fall Series") to mark which event the tee came from.

Should team tees be required for registration?

Optional but recommended as an upsell. Make the tee a $20-25 upgrade on the entry fee. Most teams take the upgrade because the visual team identity adds to the night's experience.
