A jog-a-thon is a school-wide fundraiser where students collect pledges based on the number of laps they complete during a set event, usually during PE class or a designated event day. It's built for whole-school participation rather than a single sports team.
Staff log each student's lap count after the event, and HypeRaise calculates per-lap pledge totals automatically, rolling them up by classroom, grade, or the full school for administrators to review.
No. Parents and family members pledge and pay online through their child's personal fundraising page before or during the event, with all payments processed securely through Stripe.
Instead of hundreds of individual payments, HypeRaise consolidates all pledges into a single payout to the school or PTA, with a full itemized record for reconciliation.
