Do you have permission from the team?
I also wouldnt file any 501c non profit/federal papers either. Just run it as a cash biz till you see how it goes & even then not sure if i'd file all that expensive paperwork.
Otherwise, setup a table at the games, recruit members & go from there. You can decide on membership prices once you assemble a board. think of & buy a domain (cost around $10 at GoDaddy) & Get a website too.
Here is our mission statemtment for our club:
The purpose of the Reading Express Booster Club shall be:
- to support the Reading Express organization in all their daily operations on an as needed or requested basis.
- to promote the Reading Express in their community efforts, both on and off the Field.
- to help promote the Reading Express year round and in the Greater Reading & Tri-County areas
- to promote goodwill and attendance at all Reading Express football games.
- to keep open lines of communication between the Reading Express' management and the Reading Express Booster Club.
- to get fans involved in planning & attending team and club related events.
