Adrenaline Fundraising works with schools, non-profits, and charities across the nation developing, designing and promoting a customized fundraising program. Our goal is two-fold: First, we strive to help schools, non-profits, and charities meet their financial goals by raising more money in less time. Second, we connect these groups with local and national merchants. The ultimate goal is to bring merchants more business and help to promote their brand recognition within communities. Every year, thousands of schools, non-profits, and charities depend on Adrenaline Fundraising to help reach their financial goals. We’ve spent years refining our program and have gained a comprehensive understanding of what works and what doesn’t in fundraising. We start out by building a one-of-a-kind fundraiser for each group that we work with. We then put our products in the hands of our groups. Using their family, friends, and door-to-door techniques, athletes penetrate the community distributing and selling the product. We reward those that reach preset goals with a unique prize program. Unlike most fundraising companies, we don’t stop there. We are in constant contact with our schools, coaches, and merchants to ensure that our program is never a burden on anyone that participates. In short, our program works.
