In this episode of Fundraising Ideas for Schools, Mark Walker sits down with Ashlee Scott, the first-year head coach of the Springville High School D'Velles Drill Team, to discuss how she revived the Junior D'Velles Drill Clinic and turned it into a major success.

Despite being brand new to coaching, Ashlee set an ambitious goal: enroll 100 participants, reintroduce a beloved community tradition, and raise funds to help rebuild the program. The result? Exactly 100 participants and more than $6,000 raised.

Ashlee shares:

• How she brought back the Junior D'Velles clinic after years of inactivity • Why partnering the clinic with a community parade created excitement and visibility • How she determined pricing and structured the event • The marketing tactics that helped fill the clinic • Lessons learned from managing 100 participants and their families • What she'd do differently next year • Why drill teams, cheer teams, and other school organizations should consider running a clinic of their own

Whether you're a coach, teacher, booster club leader, or school fundraiser, this episode is packed with practical ideas for building community engagement while raising money for your program.

Listen in to hear how one first-year coach turned a simple idea into a memorable event that strengthened her team, connected with the community, and created a tradition that will continue for years to come.
