Our diverse elementary school switched from a traditional fun run fundraiser to Raise Craze for fundraising this school year. We were tired of the huge cut the fun run organization was taking and wanted to focus on something more meaningful and inclusive. We were nervous to switch it up but we could not have been more pleased with how it went. We were thrilled with our success - met our goal and kept 96% of it! - and will use Raise Craze again in the years to come.

“We truly love Raise Craze! Our elementary school just completed our third year using Raise Craze and it gets better with each year. We are a very small school (415 students) and have still managed to make almost 50k 3 years in a row. Our community loves the mission of Raise Craze and our Parent Teacher Club loves that it’s easy enough to be run by 2 volunteers. Our current board can’t imagine going back to any other fundraisers. We look forward to our students “paying it forward” with kindness every year!”

“Our PTA and school theme for the year is Kindness! During our recent PTA debrief about Raise Craze, administrators and teachers expressed their appreciation for how "hands-off" this fundraiser was compared to previous ones. Students thoroughly enjoyed earning their brag tags for random acts of kindness, while parents were thrilled to see their children learning the importance of being kind to others. It's a win-win for our school community!”

“Raise Craze had an amazing impact on our school this year. This was our 5th year using Raise Craze, and it was our most successful to date. The children are emotionally invested in succeeding as individuals, and collectively. The excitement and joy they have around doing the Acts of Kindness is transformative during the fundraiser. Our students completed over 5,000 acts of kindness this year; and through our school wide service projects, their influence has rippled throughout our county. Social impact aside, we were also able to bring in over $100,000; of which we were able to keep $93,000! ”

“Raise Craze surpassed our expectations! The tools, dashboard, and marketing materials made this fundraiser easy to promote and support for an extended period of time. The Raise Craze Team was very responsive to any questions we had and you can tell they invested considerable time into developing a package that makes kindness truly the core of this fundraiser.”
