Raise Money and Win Prizes for Your Group on Campus

See if your University Qualifies. There's zero cost to start.

Campus Competition

Every house on campus. One 30 day race.

Your chapter sells a $25 digital discount card that lands in Apple Wallet. Every sale is tracked to you and your house, a live leaderboard shows exactly where everyone stands, and the houses that raise the most take home the prizes.

30 day competition $25 digital card $5 per card to your nonprofit Live leaderboard

How it works

1

Get your link

The moment you join you get a personal share link. Text it, post it, drop it in the group chat. Anyone who clicks can buy in under a minute.

2

Every sale is credited

Checkout runs through Stripe and the card drops straight into the buyer's Apple Wallet. The sale is credited to you and to your chapter automatically. Money never touches the house.

3

Climb the leaderboard

Chapters get ranked in real time for 30 days. When the clock runs out, prizes are awarded and the nonprofit's check gets delivered.

Live leaderboard

Where every house stands, all competition long.

The card in Apple Wallet

Real local deals at the spots students already go.

Where every $25 goes

  • Tailgate platform, merchant network and support $10
  • Your campus prize pool $7.50
  • Local 501(c)(3) your IFC picks $5
  • Launch partner $2.50

The pool grows as you sell

$7.50 from every card feeds the prize pool. Hit a milestone and you unlock that tier. Sell past a tier but short of the next one and the extra flows straight to your nonprofit.

The more you sell, the more you either win or give.

$5 per card is guaranteed to the nonprofit on every single card, whether the campus hits a tier or not.

What your house is playing for

Every tier's pool splits between the top 2 to 3 houses. The more your campus sells, the bigger each place takes home and the more places win.
