Some scoreboard programs make it sound simple -  they will sell the sponsors, buy the board, handle everything. And that’s true, mostly. But at what cost?

​

When they manage your sponsorships, they own the relationships. Not you. And they will approach your local businesses in your name. Your school. Your community. So when something goes wrong - a promise not kept, a call not returned, an expectation not met - the local business won’t blame them. They’ll blame you.

​

And if they burn through goodwill with your local businesses, you’re left explaining yourself to the car dealer on Main Street, the bank that’s sponsored your booster club for twenty years, the business owner who sat in your bleachers when their kid played for you. They’ve moved on to the next school.

​

You don’t have that option. You live there.

​

And then there’s the revenue. They own that too. Some will offer to split it with you - after they pay off the board. A board that many times you don’t even know who makes it. But stop and think about what you’re giving up. Your community. Your relationships. Your school’s name on every ask. And in return you get a portion of what your own supporters are paying.

​

That’s an awful lot to hand over. Especially when there’s another way.

There is another way. One where your community funds the scoreboard, your school owns it outright, and every dollar generated after that stays in your program.

Yes, it takes some work. We won’t pretend otherwise. But you won’t be doing it alone.

You’ll work directly with a certified funding strategist who has done this before - one who has helped schools raise anywhere from $50,000 to over $400,000 through local sponsorships, then helped them turn that scoreboard into ongoing revenue for their program.

MoKan provides the playbook, the guidance, and the system. You make the calls and build the relationships - because you’re the one who lives there. That’s actually your advantage, not your burden.

When it’s done, you own the scoreboard. You own the sponsor relationships. And the revenue those sponsors generate belongs to your program -  not MoKan, not a third party. Yours.

A new scoreboard from Watchfire that is built to fulfill your promises to your sponsors that funded it. Then through revenue pays your program. Year after year.

And that’s the MoKan way.

Our first job is getting your scoreboard funded. That’s what the Community Fit Calculator is for - it tells us what your community can realistically support before we ever make a call.

​

But based on our experience, funding is just the beginning.

​

The schools that execute this the right way don’t just end up with a new scoreboard - they end up with a revenue stream.

​

We have helped schools generate $10,000 or more per year in program revenue.

​

And we aren’t talking about five years from now when the board is paid off. We’re talking many times from day one - as soon as the core sponsors are in place.

​

Think about what that means. A fully funded scoreboard and income your program controls from the start. No budget committee. No waiting.

​

That’s not a funding solution. That’s a new financial reality for your program.

​

And that’s why ownership matters.
