Custom Shirts for School Fundraisers & Local 5Ks

Whether you're organizing a school fundraiser, a community 5K run, or a charity walk in Vincennes or the surrounding Indiana area, custom t-shirts are one of the most powerful tools you have. They drive participation, create lasting memories, and — if sold — generate real revenue for your cause.

At QuickPress Apparel, we help schools, PTAs, booster clubs, and event organizers create high-quality custom shirts with no minimum order, fast turnaround, and prices designed for tight event budgets.

Why Custom Shirts Work So Well for Fundraisers

  • They sell themselves — people love wearing event shirts long after the day is over
  • Built-in marketing — every person wearing your shirt is a walking advertisement
  • Easy pricing — buy at cost, sell at markup, and keep 100% of the profit
  • Community pride — a great design unifies your team, school, or cause

Fundraiser Pricing Example

Here's how the math can work in your favor:

QuantityYour Cost Per ShirtSell ForProfit Per Shirt
50 shirts~$12$20$8
100 shirts~$9$18$9
200 shirts~$7$15$8

Sell 100 shirts at $18 each and pocket $900 in pure profit for your school, team, or charity.

Perfect for Local 5K Runs & Charity Walks

Race shirts are practically a tradition at this point — participants expect them. With QuickPress Apparel's DTF printing, you get:

  • Full-color designs — logos, sponsor names, race routes, you name it
  • Multiple sizes — XS through 3XL, so every participant is covered
  • Fast turnaround — shirts ready in days, not weeks
  • No minimum — even small community races can get quality shirts

Our Process for Events

  1. Submit your design — use our AI Design Studio or upload your own artwork
  2. Choose your shirts — we'll recommend the best blank for your budget and weather
  3. Get a quote — quick turnaround, no surprises
  4. We print & you pick up — or we ship directly to you

Tips for a Successful Shirt Fundraiser

Start early. Give yourself at least 2 weeks before your event to allow for design revisions and printing.

Pre-sell before you order. Collect sizes and payments upfront so you know exactly how many to print — and you're not stuck with extras.

Keep the design timeless. A shirt with just the event year and a clean logo will be worn for years. Overly busy designs end up in the donation pile.

Offer limited sizes. XS, S, M, L, XL, and 2XL covers 95% of participants. Adding 3XL for a small upcharge is a nice touch.

Add sponsor logos. Local businesses often pay to have their logo on event shirts — another revenue stream that offsets your printing cost.
