Pleasant Glade Elementary

At RunRaise, we believe school fundraising should be meaningful, exciting, and truly impactful. One of our most fulfilling projects this year was a full service fundraiser we planned and executed for Pleasant Glade Elementary.

Thanks to our hands-on approach and seamless collaboration with the school community, Pleasant Glade was able to maximize their fundraising impact with our transparent flat-fee model, ensuring funds went directly to support students and learning.

Real Impact for Real Students

The funds from this campaign didn't disappear into administrative overhead, they were put to immediate and tangible use. The money raised helped enrich student life and learning experiences across the school. With the donations, Pleasant Glade was able to:

These improvements are already transforming the educational experience at Pleasant Glade, providing more opportunities for growth, engagement, and joy.

Our Comprehensive Approach: From Planning to Execution

At RunRaise, we go far beyond donation platforms — we offer end-to-end fundraising solutions. Here's how we made this campaign both successful and stress-free for the school:

Collaborative Strategy and Planning

We worked directly with Pleasant Glade's PTSA and administrative staff to create a clear fundraising plan and timeline. This early alignment made it easy for everyone to understand the goals, track progress, and stay on course.

Setting and Driving Goals

To build excitement and healthy competition, we established school-wide, class, and individual fundraising goals. This structure helped motivate students, teachers, and families alike while giving everyone a role in the success.

Prize Coordination and Incentives

We purchased, sorted, and organized prizes for biweekly prize drops. This was a fun way to keep energy high throughout the campaign. These drops were designed to be simple for teachers to manage and rewarding for students to receive.

Parent Communication

Our team drafted and sent regular parent emails with progress updates, fundraising tips, and clear calls to action. These emails helped maintain momentum and made it easy for families to stay informed and participate.

Branded Materials

We designed and printed car line banners and take-home flyers to ensure consistent and visible messaging at school and at home. These materials helped reinforce the campaign and brought a sense of unity to the effort.

Teacher Support

Prior to the Fun Run kickoff, we created a comprehensive deck for teachers to share with their classes that explained the fun run fundraiser and event. It highlighted purposes for fundraising, incentives, and safe ways to ask for donations. This was a resource that teachers revisited throughout the fundraising window to keep students engaged and used as a reminder to keep the momentum going.

Individual Fundraising Pages

Each student received a custom fundraising link leading directly to their personal page, streamlining the sharing process and making it easy for family and friends to donate quickly and securely.

A Fun Run to Remember

The campaign culminated in a high-energy, all-school Fun Run event that we fully planned and operated. Every grade level got to participate in an exciting, school-spirited event that promoted health, movement, and community.

Maximum Impact with Transparent Pricing.

We're incredibly proud of what we accomplished together with Pleasant Glade. With our flat-fee pricing model, the school was able to deliver immediate value back to its students while knowing exactly what their fundraising costs would be. This is exactly the kind of impact RunRaise is built to deliver.
