We're incredibly grateful to support so many outstanding high school programs across Southwest Ohio.
Every fundraiser launched, every athlete impacted, and every coach served is a blessing we never take for granted.
Now we're excited to be part of one of the biggest nights in high school football as the SWOFCA Battle of I 75 All Star Game returns. Congratulations to all the athletes who earned the opportunity to represent the Gem City and Queen City.
We can't wait to celebrate the players, coaches, and communities that make this game so special.
See you under the lights. 🏈🔥
💭 Thursday Thought 💭
Just walking out of a conversation and it got me thinking…
A lot of online fundraising options today take more of a one‑size‑fits‑all approach.
And while that can work for some groups, not every program is built the same.
Different goals. Different communities. Different needs.
That’s where having flexibility — even within a digital model — can make a real difference.
Just something to think about.

Fun Fact Friday: PLATFORM
Parents and donors don’t always want another in-hand product — they want easy and effective.
A great fundraising platform should be:
✔️ High quality
✔️ Quick to use
✔️ Easy to share
And when it’s paired with real support? Even better results.
That’s the Product part of the 3 Ps.
📲 Best platform in the industry makes fundraising easier for everyone involved.
💭 Thursday Thought 💭
Coaches & Directors — if you’re hearing “guarantees” when it comes to fundraising… it’s worth taking a pause.
Not all offers are as straightforward as they sound, and the details matter more than the headline.
Before making any decisions, make sure you’re asking the right questions and really look at what’s behind it. The fine print, the structure, and how it actually works all matter.
Trust, transparency, and the right approach from the start will always go further than promises after the fact.
Just something to think about.

Fun Fact Friday: PEOPLE
Most fundraisers don’t struggle because of effort — they struggle because no one is there in person.
At Vertical Raise, we show up.
Kickoffs. Assemblies. Check‑ins. Problem‑solving on the spot. Guidance to maximize.
Fundraising works better when there’s a real person you can call, text, and see face‑to‑face.
That’s the People part of the 3 Ps.
