Fundraiser

Fundraiser Website

When you click ‘Create Fundraiser’, Blast creates your fundraising website, which attaches to your team page. Once created, you can start working on the Pre-Launch Checklist, which makes it super simple to set up and launch. If you do not have a Blast Rep, we will assign one at this point.

Team Signs Up & Enters Contacts

Instruct athletes (13yrs & older) and parents to go to BlastAthletics.com, REGISTER and follow the wizard to join your team. All they need to know if the team name and level.

Once registered, each athlete (13yrs & older) and their parents are asked to build a list of potential sponsor’s name, email and/or cell phone. They can start entering their list into Blast as soon as the fundraiser is created. Pass out the printout found in the Pre-Launch Checklist to each athlete and their parents.

To enter contacts, log in and look for a yellow ‘Invite Sponsors’ button.

Your team should be entering their contacts while the Team Admins are setting up the fundraiser.

Launch When Ready

After the Pre-Launch Checklist is complete, and your team has entered their contacts, launch! Pick a good time that considers all 3 time zones.

Your sponsors will receive one immediate text and/or email, followed by 3 reminders over the following 3 weeks. That’s it, unless they join your team.

Your team can continue to enter contacts after it is launched.

Sponsors Pay Online

Your potential sponsors will receive a short message and a link that brings them back to the fundraiser website. This is where they learn about the fundraiser, watch the video and pay online.

Sponsors will be able to select an individual athlete or the whole team. When they select an athlete, they will receive weekly updates focusing on that Athlete and the team. If they do not select an athlete, they receive all top content from the entire team.

Tracking: Donations and Participation

Team admins have access to a suite of analytics and basic participation numbers are public. Only Admins can see the dollar amount each athlete has raised, how many contacts they entered and who they contacted.

Get Paid Immediately, Continuously

As soon as the fundraiser is launched, the person who clicked ‘Create Fundraiser’ will be prompted to set up their withdrawals. Blast has created your team a bank account on WePay.com Bank, where teams can set up withdrawals by direct deposit or check.

As soon as a payment clears, teams can withdrawal their money, enabling teams to use Blast to raise money year round. Plus, teams can paper trail every donation with a click of a button, which is heaven when dealing with schools.

Cost
