HOW IT WORKS
4 Steps to Impact
Proven game plan from Tip-off to the final buzzer, we’re your Head Coach and your General Manager
THE CHALLENGE
Everybody gets a Bucket
WHY SCHOOLS SAY YES
Built for schools, not around them
A fundraiser that’s genuinely fun to run, and genuinely worth running
Fun and inclusive
Every student participates — this isn't a tryout or a talent show. Everyone earns their moment on the court.
Low-lift to run
We show you how to run the event, and we cover it with video to create a dynamic promo that powers your fundraising.
Transparent fundraising
You know exactly how every dollar splits before the first shot is taken — no surprises after the event.
Real financial benefit
This isn't a fundraiser for an outside cause that borrows your gym. Your school keeps the largest share.
And every role on staff has its own reason to say yes:
Principals
Low-lift, mission-aligned
A safe, flexible fundraiser that fits your school's mission without adding to your staff's workload.
PE Teachers & Coaches
Inclusive and easy to run
An activity every student can do, with a clear format and a positive experience from first whistle to last.
PTOs & Parent Groups
A fundraiser families get behind
No product sales, no upfront cost, and a real return for the school — the kind of fundraiser parents actually want to support.
Your Impact
Where every dollar goes.
Every event splits three ways, locked in before you commit to a date.
Directed to athletics, PE equipment, or whatever student experience your school chooses.
A minimum 25% — this year funding Laundry for Local Families.
Covers event production, runs your fundraising campaign online, and personally delivers your Community Impact Fund into the neighborhood.
This Year's Cause
Laundry for Local Families. Clean clothes shouldn't be out of reach for a family in your community. This year's Community Impact Fund partners with local laundromats to provide detergent, laundry cards, and access to families who need it — funded by students showing up and playing, and delivered directly by our team so your school doesn't have to run a second program to make it happen.
