Are your cups dishwasher-safe? Microwave-safe?
All products are dishwasher safe but top shelf recommended. We do not recommend any of these products be used in the microwave.
Can your products be frozen?
It is not recommended that any of our products be frozen due to possible cracking.
Are other professional sports or college teams available?
We are often asked why we do not offer certain colleges, NBA teams, NHL teams, NASCAR drivers or other sports properties. Our decision to add new teams is a complicated process that involves the analysis of a given market, the ability of our customers to sell the teams across the country and the costs associated with additional licensing. We collect requests over the course of the year and our product development team meets annually to conduct the analysis and make additional licensing decisions.
We can’t make any promises but as a general rule of thumb, the more requests we receive, the better the chance of us adding the team. If you would like to make a request, please contact our Customer Care team through our website or call 888-825-9339.

Do I have to purchase inventory upfront to run a BRAX fundraiser?
There are absolutely no up-front costs or risks to your organization. Our program runs on a pre-sale basis, meaning that your participants collect all of the money for orders at the time of sale. You keep your profits and pay us only when submitting your master order.
Should I order Sample Cups for my fundraiser’s participants?
The overwhelming answer is YES! Sample Cups are a great representation of the entire product line and are proven to increase sales. Once the customer sees an example of the high quality design, the selling is simple. Contact our Customer Care team at 888-825-9339 to place your order.
Can I choose the teams for my Sample Cups packs?
Yes, you may select the teams for your Sample Cups.
Can I buy SpiritCups, SpiritTravelCups and SpiritPopcorn directly from your company if I’m not involved in a fundraiser?
Due to licensing restrictions we can only sell our products for use in fundraisers. If you would like to buy individual products, we suggest that you post a request on our Facebook page or contact Customer Care at 888-825-9339. They will look to see if they can connect you with an active fundraiser in your area.
Can I order custom products with my organization’s logo?
In terms of fundraising, our research has shown the most successful programs come from selling licensed products with well known, national brands including the National Football League, Major League Baseball, top colleges and the US Military. With millions of dollars supporting these brands, the traditional BRAX products simply have greater equity and generate more sales. This is the basis of our fundraising program and because our primary focus is offering these officially licensed products, we do not offer custom product manufacturing.
Where can I find more information about increasing parent involvement in fundraising?
One of our media partners, PTO Today, is an excellent resource for organizations seeking fundraising tips, information and tools for increasing parent involvement and participation in fundraising.
