Some teams use a similar model: they hold "personal" fundraisers which are optional and whatever proceeds you make go towards offsetting your personal travel expenses; and they hold mandatory "team" fundraisers, the proceeds of which may go towards things like purchasing t-shirts, etc. Personal fundraisers might be selling Entertainment Books or Butter Braids or Pizza Kits. Team fundraisers often are of a teambuilding nature and might include car washes and pasta dinners.
