Pokémon-athon
The fundraiser families already have at home.
Turn forgotten Pokémon cards into school funding. Kids donate the cards nobody is using, the school ships them on a prepaid label, and Pokémon-athon pays the school 10 cents a verified card, up to $10,000. No selling, no order forms, no cash to collect, and postage is on us.
Elementary, middle, and high schools: the PTA parents and front-office staff who run the drive, and the families donating the cards.
What it does
Drop-off logging
Front-office staff log a drop-off from a phone in seconds, and an unattributed drop-off counts exactly the same for the school total.
Two counts, one payment
The school’s logged count and the verified recount sit side by side, and payment is on the verified number, checked on calibrated scales.
A public school page
Every school gets a shareable page with a live goal meter, class standings, and an anonymous top-collector scoreboard.
Printable toolkit
Posters, a letter home, box labels, and submission slips, personalized to the school, with tracked QR codes that route to its live page.
Earnings estimator
Three sliders, students, the share who bring cards, and cards each, running the same math the payout runs on, cap and all.
Kid-safe by construction
No child ever gets an account, first names only, nothing public, and the database schema enforces every claim on the safety page.
Who it is for
Elementary, middle, and high schools: the PTA parents and front-office staff who run the drive, and the families donating the cards.
Pokémon-athon began as a custom build for one real operation. Start one shaped around yours.
