Your Best Fundraiser Isn't a Product. It's Access.

A MAC football program raffled off the chance to call the opening drive of its home opener. Nine million views. Suites sold out for the first time in school history.

You have the same inventory. Sideline passes. A spot at the coin toss. A seat at the walkthrough. It costs your program nothing — and it's worth more to your supporters than any gift card.

We handle the legal rules, the payments, and the drawing. You pick the prize.

No upfront cost. ★★★★★ Trusted by 400+ organizations

This one doesn't stay local

A product fundraiser has a hard limit. Only so many people will buy popcorn, and they all have to live close enough to get it.

A sweepstakes is a link. Your athletes share it. Their families share it. Alumni who graduated fifteen years ago share it. People who've never been to your campus share it — because they want the thing you're offering.

There's no inventory to run out of and no delivery radius. The only ceiling is how good the prize is.

Your roster is your sales team

Every athlete gets their own tracking link. Parents, alumni, classmates, and the group chat all become entries. A real-time leaderboard shows who's leading — which turns the fundraiser into a competition the team actually wants to win.

Individual links

Each athlete's sales are tracked automatically — no spreadsheets.

Live leaderboard

The whole team sees who's on top, in real time.

Zero handling

No product, no money collection, no delivery day.

We'll get your program set up

Every campaign runs through your program's organization — your booster club, your team fund, your athletic department, whatever entity you already fundraise through. You don't need to figure out which one or set anything up yourself.

Sweepstakes Vs. Raffles

Short version:a raffle is legally gambling, only registered 501(c) organizations can run one, and eleven states don't allow them at all. A sweepstakes includes a free entry option, which keeps it out of gambling law and lets you run nationwide. We run sweepstakes. The table below shows why that matters.

Questions coaches ask

How does this get set up for our program?

Every campaign runs through your program's organization — your booster club, your team fund, your athletic department, whatever entity you already fundraise through. You don't need to figure out which one or set anything up yourself. Tell us how your program is structured and we'll handle it. It takes one conversation.

What does the platform cost? What's your fee?

There is never an upfront cost — you don't pay anything to launch. The only fee is standard credit-card processing: 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction, passed along directly from Stripe, our payment processor. Everything else your campaign raises goes to your program.

What if our compliance office has questions?

If your prize involves current student-athletes or team facilities, your compliance office will want to review it. We provide the official rules and campaign details in a format you can hand them directly.

How long does a campaign usually run?

You choose the window, and we'll help you pick one that fits your season. Most campaigns run for a few weeks — long enough to build momentum through your athletes' networks, short enough to keep urgency.

Can we offer more than one prize?

Yes. You can run a campaign with multiple prizes or multiple winners — a grand prize plus smaller ones is a common structure. We'll help you set it up in the official rules.

What happens if we don't hit our goal?

There's no minimum and no penalty. Whatever your campaign raises is yours, minus card-processing fees. The drawing still happens as described in the official rules, so your supporters always get what they entered for.

Do entrants have to be local, or can alumni anywhere enter?

A sweepstakes can accept entries nationwide — that's one of its biggest advantages over a raffle. Your official rules define eligibility, and alumni who live across the country can enter just like a parent in the stands.

Who handles the drawing, and how do we prove it was fair?

The drawing is a random selection conducted per the official rules — you can run it live on YouTube or Facebook so supporters can watch, and we provide entrant emails so you can share the link or recording with everyone who entered.

Pick a prize. We'll handle the rest.

Sign up in minutes, set your prizes, and launch. We'll handle the legal, operational, and technical side — you focus on your season.
