Why Baseball and Softball Programs Run Hit-a-Thons on HypeRaise

A hit-a-thon works because it turns practice time into fundraising time. HypeRaise handles the pledge tracking and payment collection so coaches can focus on running the event.

Per-Hit Pledge Tracking

Donors pledge a flat amount or a per-hit rate. HypeRaise totals each player's hits automatically so nobody is doing math on a clipboard mid-event.

Get Started

One Link Per Player

Every player gets a personal fundraising page to send to family and friends. Donations post in real time, before and during the event.

Stripe-Secured Payouts

All pledges and one-time donations are processed through Stripe. Funds land in the program's account on a fixed payout schedule, with a full transaction record for the treasurer.

How a Hit-a-Thon Works on HypeRaise

Set Up the Roster

Coaches or booster club administrators add each player to the campaign. HypeRaise generates a personal fundraising page for every player automatically.

Players Share Their Page

Players send their page to family and friends by text, email, or social media. Donors can pledge per hit or give a flat amount, and pay online immediately.
