Boosterthon Takes the Guesswork out of Fundraising

Boosterthon is here to make your fundraising experience as smooth and successful as possible—on your terms. We understand that every school community is different, which is why we offer customizable service levels tailored to your needs and volunteer availability.

Whether your team is hands-on and excited to be involved every step of the way, or you’re short on time and need a trusted partner to manage the details, we’ve got flexible options to match your level of involvement.

Here’s what that can look like:

• Full Service: Want Booster to handle everything? Our energetic, experienced team members will be on campus to lead the event from start to finish—including daily student character lessons, donation collection, prize distribution, and the big event day itself.

• Shared Service: Prefer to stay involved but need guidance along the way? We’ll be your go-to resource remotely leading up to your event day—offering proven strategies, our online fundraising platform, and ongoing support. You’ll have a dedicated Boosterthon contact ready to answer questions and help you stay on track. Then on event day, our team will be on you campus handling everything from start to finish!

• Support Service: Have a strong volunteer team and love DIY projects? We’ll equip you with all the materials, digital resources, and step-by-step instructions to run your own amazing event—while still benefiting from our online donation platform and decades of experience.

Booster charges a percentage based on the level of support your school selects ranging from platform only all the way up to full service. This allows us to create customized plans to fit every school’s budget. Book a quick call with your Booster fundraising consultant to learn more about your options.

Students can earn prizes for getting donations or sharing their MyBooster online platform page, classes can earn rewards for working together as a team, and we recommend whole school incentives when certain fundraising goals are met. Things like school wide PJ day or sliming your principal! Our prizes and incentive structures are customizable to fit what you and your school community value most. Check out these prize ideas too!

Boosterthon is the easiest—and most fun!—way to exceed your school’s fundraising goals while creating an unforgettable experience for your students.

Here’s a step-by-step look at how it works:

1. Kickoff Week

Your Boosterthon journey starts with a high-energy kickoff that gets students excited and sets the tone for the entire program. Our team introduces your fundraiser’s goals, the prize system, and the week’s character theme. Whether in person or virtual, the excitement is contagious!

2. Fundraising + Daily Fun

Then students and families begin collecting pledges and donations—all with our easy-to-use online school fundraising platform.

During fundraising days we help keep the energy and momentum high with:

• Engaging video content that teaches important character lessons.
• Fun class and school challenges that boost participation.
• Exciting prizes students can earn as they collect pledges.
• Live updates to keep everyone motivated and on track!

3. The Big Event Day

This is what it all leads up to! Your school chooses the event that best fits your students and space—like a Fun Run, DanceFit, Glow Run, or Color Run. On event day, students run, walk, or dance to music and cheers in a school-wide celebration of their hard work. It’s active, inclusive, and unforgettable!

4. Celebrate + Wrap-Up

After the event, we handle the prize fulfillment and help you celebrate your school’s success. With Booster’s help, many schools not only meet but exceed their fundraising goals!

Depending what Boosterthon event your school chooses, your students will run or walk around a fun racetrack or follow along to choreographed dances to raise funds! They are high-energy events your students will remember for years to come! Don’t forget to ask your fundraising consultant about fun extras like a DJ or a blow up tunnel that you can add on to elevate your event even more.

Depending on the service level your school chooses, Boosterthon charges a percentage fee. This helps cover the cost of our Booseterthon experts who save you valuable time!  The fee also goes toward resources that would normally be an out-of-pocket expense for your school if you didn’t use a fundraising company, like prizes, marketing material, and event day essentials.
