We make it easy to design and order PTA fundraiser shirts that look great, build school spirit, and raise money for the causes that matter most to your community. Whether you’re organizing a back-to-school bash, fall festival, fun run, or teacher appreciation campaign, the right custom shirt can become a favorite for parents, staff, and students alike — while helping your PTA exceed its fundraising goals.

At MyInkADo, we partner with PTAs and PTOs across Fort Worth and beyond to create high-quality shirts that are both stylish and profitable. Here’s how to design, price, and promote custom shirts that get worn, shared, and sold out.

Why PTA Shirts Make Great Fundraisers

Fundraising can feel overwhelming — especially when you’re juggling event planning, volunteer coordination, and budget targets. That’s why shirts are such a smart option: they’re simple, popular, and high-impact.

PTA shirts are:

  • Easy to sell to students, parents, and teachers
  • A built-in opportunity to promote school spirit
  • Great for volunteers and staff to wear at events
  • Perfect for year-round visibility and engagement

Best of all, every shirt you sell supports your school directly — from new equipment and supplies to enrichment programs and field trips.

Start With a Design That People Will Actually Want to Wear

The key to selling fundraiser shirts? Make them something people are excited to put on. That means age-appropriate, on-trend, and tied to your school’s identity.

Design tips:

  • Use bold, readable fonts that pop from a distance
  • Stick to 2–3 ink colors to keep print costs manageable
  • Include your school name, mascot, or a fun slogan
  • Consider adding the year, event name, or hashtag
  • Poll students or parents for design input — it builds buzz

Our design team can take your PTA’s logo, school branding, or even a rough sketch and turn it into a shirt people will proudly wear on spirit days, field trips, and even weekends.

Choose the Right Shirt for Your Audience

Shirt quality matters. You want a garment that’s soft enough to wear often and sturdy enough to last.

Our most popular options include:

  • Ringspun cotton for softness and comfort
  • Cotton/poly blends for a smooth, lightweight feel
  • Youth and adult sizing for all students, staff, and families
  • Long sleeves, hoodies, or tanks for seasonal flexibility

We’ll help you choose the right fit and fabric for your school’s climate, style, and budget — and make sure everything is consistent across all sizes.

Order in Bulk or Set Up a Pre-Sale — We’ll Help Either Way

There are two common ways to run a shirt fundraiser, and both work well — depending on your PTA’s timeline and budget.

1. Bulk Order and Sell In-Person

  • Order a set quantity in popular sizes
  • Sell at school events, spirit nights, or the front office
  • Great for festivals, field days, or in-person promotions

2. Pre-Sale and Print to Order

  • Collect orders and payment first (we can provide order forms or online tools)
  • Print only what’s been purchased
  • Zero risk of extra inventory or sizing guesswork

Not sure which route to take? We’ll help you plan and price it so it makes sense for your group and goals.

Price It Right for Fundraising Success

Pricing can make or break your fundraiser — too low, and you lose profits; too high, and you risk slow sales. We’ll help you hit the sweet spot.

Here’s a general guide:

  • Base cost for most PTA shirts: $6–$9 (depending on quantity and style)
  • Typical sale price: $15–$20 per shirt
  • Profit margin per shirt: $7–$12

If you add premium options like hoodies or long sleeves, those can sell for even more — and give families a reason to buy more than one item.

Add-on Options to Boost Sales

Want to take your fundraiser to the next level? Consider offering:

  • Limited edition designs for different grades or staff
  • Matching hoodies or tote bags
  • Custom stickers or water bottles
  • “Sponsor backs” with local business logos (a great way to raise extra funds)

We can print and package these all together — so you have a complete, professional fundraiser package without the usual hassle.

Make Distribution Easy (and Organized)

We get it — shirt distribution can be chaotic. That’s why we offer:

  • Sorted packaging by class or grade
  • Optional delivery to homes, teachers, or the PTA
  • Bulk shipping or local Fort Worth pickup
  • Easy-to-read packing slips and inventory counts

The result? Happy parents, fewer headaches, and a stress-free delivery day.
