What Is the Best Basketball Team Fundraiser?
The Slice the Price Card is a Domino’s Pizza fundraiser that basketball teams across the U.S. use to raise money with no upfront cost. Each card sells for $20 and your group keeps $10 — a 50% profit. Cards are redeemed at participating U.S. Domino’s locations online, in the app, or in-store. Platinum Fundraising has helped groups raise $38M+ since 1999.
How the Slice the Price Card program works
The Slice the Price Card is a Domino’s Pizza fundraiser that has helped groups raise money since 1999. Your supporters buy a $20 card, and every card sells itself: it gets the cardholder a free large pizza with the purchase of a large pizza at menu price, at participating Domino’s locations, for the life of the card.
- Zero upfront cost. There is no cost to start, no minimum order, and no obligation to buy unsold cards. The program is risk-free.
- 50% profit. Cards sell for $20 and your group keeps $10 of every card sold.
- Sell online, on paper, or both. We set up a free online store so supporters can buy from anywhere and have cards shipped to them. Optional printed order forms are also available — groups that use both typically raise about 30% more.
- Runs two weeks. The short window keeps everyone focused and consistently produces the strongest results.
- A dedicated specialist helps the whole way. Setup, materials, check-ins, and payout — your Fundraising Specialist handles it with you.
- Free prize programs. Optional prize and T-shirt programs reward participants — great for schools and younger sellers.
Cards are valid for 6 months to 1 year depending on when your fundraiser starts, and the expiration date is printed on every card.
Why it’s perfect for basketball teams
Mid-season timing. Basketball costs hit in the middle of the school year, not the summer. Holiday tournaments, shootouts, and travel brackets all carry entry fees due mid-season. A two-week sale in late fall or early winter covers them while the season is live.
Built-in selling window. A basketball roster is small, usually 10 to 15 players, but you have a built-in selling window. Home games put your families in the gym twice a week, and a $20 buy-one-get-one pizza card is an easy sell to a crowd that is already there to support the team.
Pizza is team fuel. Pizza is what the team eats anyway. Bus rides home, film sessions, and team dinners almost always end in pizza, so a buy-one-get-one card is genuinely useful to your own families, not just the people they sell to.
No offseason scramble. There is no offseason scramble. You pay nothing upfront, there is no equipment to store, and the live dashboard tracks every player’s sales. A coach can check progress between practices and keep the short roster motivated for both weeks.
What your group can earn
Your group keeps $10 for every $20 card sold — a full 50% profit with no upfront cost. There is no minimum and no maximum number of cards.
The math is simple:
Participants × Cards per participant × $10 = Your profit
10 participants selling 15 cards each
$1,500
25 participants selling 15 cards each
$3,750
50 participants selling 20 cards each
$10,000
100 participants selling 20 cards each
$20,000
Most groups raise around $1,500; larger or highly motivated groups have raised $10,000+, with our largest fundraiser reaching about $21,450. We recommend a minimum of 5 participants. These figures are estimates to set goals — actual results vary with participation and effort.
