Most a-thon platforms charge per participant. When a walk-a-thon grows from 50 to 50,000 participants, the software cost climbs at the same rate. The platform earns more from the very growth the organization is working to create.

But the real missed opportunity isn't fees – it's reach. Every participant has a network of family, friends, and coworkers who would give if asked. Most a-thon platforms treat participants as registrants.

The ones that raise serious money treat every participant as a fundraiser.

HOW IT WORKS

Every participant becomes a fundraiser. Every lap counts.

1

Design your event

Choose your activity, customize participant pages, and set per-unit pledges, flat donations, or both. Add ticketing, silent auctions, raffles, and giveaways from one dashboard for any fun run, walk-a-thon, read-a-thon, dance-a-thon, or bike-a-thon.
2

Register & activate participants

Each participant gets a personal fundraising page with their goal, photo, story, and shareable link. Friends and family donate through their page, while every gift feeds your central campaign thermometer.
3

Track, celebrate, & collect

Real-time leaderboards track fundraisers, teams, and milestones while pledge totals calculate automatically. Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo, PayPal, ACH, and cards make giving easy, with payments and receipts processed automatically.

More participants.

More pledges. More impact.
