🤼 Pledge Per Pin
Supporters pay upfront against your team's published pin target, then follow every real fall on the mat.
Why it works
It ties giving directly to the team supporters are cheering for without creating a collection problem after the season. The published target makes checkout predictable, while real game updates keep donors engaged.
How to run it
- 1
Create an Activity-Based campaign for the season-long pledge, set it up before your first game.
- 2
Pick your unit, touchdowns, goals, runs, pins, or wins, so the pledge matches your sport.
- 3
Publish a conservative estimated season total. Supporters choose a per-score amount or a flat gift and pay the estimated target-based total immediately at checkout.
- 4
Invite athletes to register or import the roster, then have each athlete personalize a page and add trusted contacts so Sports Supporters can run the scheduled launch sequence. The suggested three-week cadence can be adjusted to the season calendar.
- 5
Post the real running tally after each game to keep supporters engaged. The tally is storytelling and stewardship, not a later billing calculation.
- 6
Send a mid-season team update and a final-game thank-you, then publish the actual season result alongside what the fundraiser made possible.
Responsibilities
Who does what, and when, so nothing slips.
- Set up the season target and unit before the opener, using a conservative estimate supporters can understand.
- Post the real tally after every game and send mid-season and final-game updates.
- Close with the actual season result and thank supporters; payment was collected at checkout.
- Personalize pages and add trusted contacts before the season starts so the automated launch can run.
- Share game results to keep supporters watching the total climb.
- Choose a per-score amount against the published target or make a flat gift, both paid upfront.
- Follow the real season tally and see what your support helped make possible.

Boost it. Plays that pair well
Team Donation Campaign
A single shared donation page for the whole program, the simplest possible campaign, plus its game-day activation: QR signs at the gate and concessions with an announcer ask. Great as a permanent 'support the team' link.
Recurring Booster Club Membership
Turn one-time donors into monthly or annual members with named tiers and small perks. Predictable, year-round revenue instead of one-off spikes.
Team Sponsorship Drive
One structured campaign to fund a game, a stretch of home games, or the full season with local business money. Offer a clear ladder from a single-game sponsor to multi-game packages, banner placements, and one top presenting sponsor.
