Cheer fundraising doesn’t have to mean car washes and cookie dough.

CHHS Panther cheer squad recently launched a fundraising campaign on Fundtool and raised over $15,000 in just a few days—no selling, no events, and no burnout.

They didn’t use gimmicks. They used the momentum of Fundtool.

How They Did It

The team used Fundtool to:

• Launch their campaign in minutes
• Sync contacts
• Send a single viral text message
• Rally their whole team to do the same

Instead of scrambling to plan events, they focused on sharing the story behind the season—and supporters showed up in full force.

How You Can Do It Too

Here are quick tips from the FundMAX guide to help you replicate their success:

1. Launch Fast.

Don’t overthink it. Fundtool is built for speed. Start with your team, your contacts, and a single message.

2. Multiply the Message.

Have every athlete send it to 10–20 people. Most teams see donations spike when just a few people start sharing.

3. Tell People Why It Matters.

Instead of “we’re raising money,” try “help us get to nationals” or “this season means everything to us.” Make it personal.

4. Keep It Simple.

No order forms. No selling. Just a clean campaign link that people can donate to in seconds.

You don’t need more time. You need a better tool.

With Fundtool, you can raise thousands without adding more to your plate.
