A ByLocal team tool

Fund your team. Fuel your season.

Pledge·Hub turns every rep, lap, and pound into support for your athletes. Free to start, built for your phone, and your team keeps nearly all of it.

Free to start

Create an event, add your roster, and share a QR code at no upfront cost.

Built for mobile

Donors scan, pick an athlete, and give in seconds with Apple Pay or Google Pay.

Your team keeps more

A low platform fee, far below the 20 percent some platforms take. Donors can cover the processing fee so nearly all of every gift reaches your team.

One platform, every -a-thon

Lift-A-Thon, Walk-A-Thon, Read-A-Thon, and more. Pick the fundraiser that fits your team and PledgeHub sets up the rest.

Pick your fundraiser type, set a goal, and choose fixed gifts, pledges per unit, or both.

Frequently asked questions

Everything schools and donors ask before they start.

A lift-a-thon is a sports fundraiser where athletes get pledges for each pound they lift, lap they run, or rep they complete. Supporters promise an amount per unit, the athlete performs on event day, and the final result sets each donation.
