Tis the Season of Giving!
What are you looking forward to this Thanksgiving? Football? Family time? Stuffing? Pecan pie? A big ole' turkey? If you say all of the above, then join the team.
We have the fortune of working with over 1,300 schools nationwide and meeting some amazing teachers, administrators, and students! When this time of year comes around, we want to do all that we can to help and do our small part in giving back to these amazing rockstars. So, we created a tasty competition that everyone can enjoy.
The winning school will win 10 turkeys provided by the PledgeCents team! Competition rules:
- Earn 100 points for every new fundraising page that goes live for your school.
- Earn 25 points for every dollar raised for your school (yes fundraising pages that were live before this contest count).
