Plan an athon your school can run
Choose the activity, agree a budget and appoint an organiser before inviting families. Raised provides sponsorship pages and online payments. Your school arranges the activity, volunteers, supplies and any prizes. For a colour run, that includes the course and powder.
- Set a target after allowing for event costs and payment fees. Check the fee settings for your country.
- Prepare class teams and approved student display names. Review privacy settings before sharing links.
- Send families the event date, participation arrangements and each student's sponsorship link or QR code.
- After the event, reconcile payments and expenses before reporting what the school retained.
How schools have used student sponsorship pages
Pyes Pā School's maths-a-thon raised $3,575 against a $2,500 goal, with 170 student sponsorship pages. Karori Normal School's dance-a-thon raised $2,553. These are actual athon campaigns, rather than colour-run results or a forecast for your school.
Frequently Asked Questions
About the event templates
What is an athon fundraiser?
An athon is a sponsored event where participants collect sponsorship for an activity they complete, such as reading, walking, running or learning. Read-a-thons, walk-a-thons and colour runs are all athons. Raised gives each participant a page to collect that sponsorship online.
Do the templates cost extra?
No. Every template is free to use. There are no setup fees or monthly fees. Card donations carry a 5% platform fee and Stripe processing fees. Card surcharges are not allowed in Australia, so by default these come out of the donation, and donors can choose to cover them.
Can I change the design?
Yes. Your campaign name, story and banner go on the page as you set it up. After that you can edit the words, reorder sections, and switch to another colour scheme to match your school.
My event is not on the list. Can I still run it?
Yes. Dance-a-thons, skip-a-thons, bike-a-thons and anything else can run on Raised. When you start, pick the template closest to your event, or choose 'Something else' for a plain page you can make your own.
How long does it take to set up?
A few minutes. Choose the event, add your details and goal, and the page is ready to share.
