Hello Football Players and Families!

This is a long post, please read fully as it is all very important.

It is that time of year again for our SnapRaise fundraiser! This is our largest fundraiser of the year and for it to be successful we need 100% participation from our Lion Football Families.
(Last year we raised $31,000 – lets beat it this year!!!)

Fundraising Dates: June 17th – July 15th,2026

Instructions for signup are below. Please keep in mind that when you signup using the Gahanna Football link: https://raise.snap.app/join_code/538728746 you are ensuring that all proceeds stay within the football program. The success of the fundraisers is important because not all of the equipment, uniforms, travel costs, camp fees, food, operating expenses, etc are funded by the boosters or the school district. The program has to supplement with fundraisers like this to be successful.
Before signing your athlete up, please check with them first to see if they already signed up. Our SnapRaise Representative met with some of the athletes at weightlifting before Spring Break.
See the attached flyer for the QR code or sign up using the instructions below.
Once you click on the link or use the QR code, you will be instructed to download the app on your phone.
Once you are in the app, put in the JOIN CODE: 362-793-513

If you are a returning participant, log in with your information from last year.
NOTE: When signing up, this is NOT the parent's information but the athlete's information.
- You will select a group (Class of 27, 28, 29 or 30)
- Your athlete can pick their prize now or come back to it later, but don't forget this step.
- You will be able to add a picture of your athlete and edit the message on your athletes fundraising page before sending it out.

- Then the IMPORTANT part. You will be directed to add your emails to the share box. The expectation is that every member of our team has 20 quality emails uploaded to their profile. The Coaches will be able to track this to ensure we all participate.
(Make sure your emails do NOT include students, teachers, fake emails, etc. and are only legitimate potential donors)

Texting! You will be able to add in numbers for a direct link to your athlete's donation page to be sent to your family and friends.
NOTE: We cannot launch until we have 70% of our players signed up with 20 emails. You will not see the Facebook or Twitter icons until we launch.

There will be incentives for those that participate fully in this campaign.

Each player's account will have access to their own QR code. Once we launch and you go to their personal account page, it is listed under the top donate button. When they/you share to Facebook, you will click the Facebook icon on the account dash, and it will already have a link and message and take you to your FB page. Same thing with Twitter.
Please get your player set up this weekend so we can be sure we are ready to go on Monday.
GOAL: Each player starts off with a goal of $500. As it’s reached, their goal can be increased.
Coaches will be having competitions between the groups (grades and positions) each week.

So, get your teammates motivated and let's raise some money for our program. We need full participation from all players for this to be successful.

In 2023, our program raised $42,824. In the first week, we raised over $10,000. In 2024, our program raised $34,797, 2025 we raised $31,000! We are excited to see how we do in our 4th year.

If you have any questions, please reach out to the coaches or myself. I know this was a lot of information, please use the comments section attached to this post to ask your questions, that way we can help answer others that have the same questions.
