American $100 bills here representing the thousands of dollars Marin's Custom Apparel has helped fundraise for the school, team, and organization partners.

When schools, sports teams, clubs, and organizations need a way to raise money, custom apparel can do more than create school spirit. Online stores can help fund programs, equipment, events, field trips, athletics, and opportunities for students.


At Marin's Custom Apparel, we've had the privilege of partnering with schools, PTAs, booster clubs, sports teams, organizations, and more throughout Southern California. Through spirit wear programs, fundraising apparel stores, team merchandise, and custom apparel sales, we've helped organizations generate thousands of dollars for their schools and programs. Together with our school and team partners, we're on track to help generate nearly $10,000 in fundraising opportunities by the end of 2026.


More Than Just Custom Apparel

Many organizations initially come to us looking for custom t-shirts, team uniforms, staff apparel, or spirit wear. What they often discover is that custom apparel can become a valuable fundraising tool while also building pride, unity, and community support.


We've helped organizations create:

  • School spirit wear stores

  • PTA and PTSA fundraising programs

  • Booster club apparel stores

  • Sports team apparel

  • Club merchandise

  • Staff apparel

  • Event apparel

  • Youth sports merchandise

  • Community organization apparel

  • Fundraising apparel campaigns


Our goal is to make ordering custom apparel simple while helping organizations create additional revenue opportunities.


Schools and Communities We've Served

We've proudly worked with schools, teams, and organizations throughout:

  • Fontana

  • Rancho Cucamonga

  • Rialto

  • Eastvale

  • Chino Hills

  • Alta Loma

  • Jurupa Valley

  • El Monte


As word has spread, we've continued serving customers throughout Southern

California.


Today, Marin's Custom Apparel works with organizations across:

  • The Inland Empire

  • San Bernardino County

  • Riverside County

  • Los Angeles County

  • Orange County


Whether you're coordinating apparel for an elementary school, middle school, high school, PTA, PTSA, booster club, youth sports league, church, nonprofit, or community organization, we're equipped to help simplify the process.


How School and Team Spirit Wear Fundraising Stores Work

One of the most successful fundraising solutions we've seen is the online spirit wear store.


Instead of collecting paper order forms, cash, checks, sizes, and payments from dozens, or even hundreds, of families, organizations can launch an online store where their peeps place their own orders directly.


The prices of the store items already include the amount that you would like to fundraise per item.


This creates a more organized experience for everyone involved while also helping schools and teams raise funds with fun fundraising opportunities.


Less Work for Coordinators

Coordinators don't have to manually track orders, sizes, payments, or inventory.


No Chasing Payments

Families pay when they order, eliminating the challenge of collecting money afterward.


Increased School Spirit

Students, families, staff members, alumni, and supporters can proudly represent their school or team.


Helping Schools and Teams Raise Funds

Organizations can earn money from apparel sales, helping support programs, events, equipment, and activities.


Professional Online Storefront

Schools and teams receive a customized online store designed specifically for their organization.


Supporting Schools Beyond Apparel

One thing we've learned from working with schools and organizations is that apparel isn't usually the difficult part.


The difficult part is organizing everything.


Coordinators often find themselves collecting sizes, managing payments, answering questions, tracking orders, gathering artwork, and communicating with families all while balancing their normal responsibilities.


That's why we've developed resources designed to make the process easier, including MCA Easy Ordering resources:

  • Order tracking tools

  • Sizing and quantity sheets

  • Design guidance resources

  • Communication templates


Our goal isn't simply to print apparel. We want to help coordinators feel confident, organized, and supported throughout the process.


Why Schools and Teams Across the Inland Empire Choose Marin's Custom Apparel

Schools, teams, and organizations choose Marin's Custom Apparel because they want:

  • Clear communication

  • Organized ordering systems

  • Fundraising opportunities

  • Quality custom apparel

  • Reliable turnaround times

  • School-friendly ordering solutions

  • Online spirit wear stores

  • A partner who understands how schools operate


We know that many coordinators are volunteers, teachers, coaches, PTA members, or parents balancing countless responsibilities. Making apparel easier means one less thing they have to worry about.
