St. Agnes School, PA
CharityMania was by far one of the easiest fundraisers we have ever done. As a small school, we have never been able to sell 500 of anything. But we did for this fundraiser! This is one fundraiser we will be sure to repeat.

FootballMania is a GREAT way to make extra funds; it is easy, it keeps people interested in the program, and it gives a number of people a chance to win!

Knights of Columbus 9193, NJ
Everyone likes football and likes games of chance, so the tickets are easy to sell.
LITH Travel Baseball 15U Thunder, IL
We like the fact that the 70% return is one of the best in the fundraising industry. Means less fundraising. Keep it that way and we keep coming back year after year.....
Cherokee Ice Hockey Club , NJ
We made our parents sell just 5 tickets each and we made over $6300 profit for our Hockey Club!
Hyde Park Little League, NY
I'm a returning user of CharityMania because it offers the best return. The fact that you also can win some cash playing the game is a bonus to people. Hands down its one of the easiest fundraisers out there.

CharityMania's FootballMania is a favorite fundraiser for our school and parish. People ask about it for months ahead of time! The guaranteed winner program is the best!

We now only have to run one fundraiser, FootballMania, rather than 10 small fundraisers like cookie dough, candles, and scratchers.
St. Dismas Parish, IL
FootballMania is the easiest fundraiser we have ever done. We have gained over $24,000 and the best part is you don’t need to know anything about football to win!

Our Milwaukee Women's Bowling Association is always looking for ways to increase our funding. This was easy AND safe. And coming from a "football enthusiastic area" made our sales much easier.

Parents love this fundraiser!

This was the first time our organization has ever used CharityMania and it has by far been the best fundraiser I have been involved in.
