Every house on campus. One 30 day race.
Chapters sell a $25 student discount card that lives in Apple Wallet. Every sale moves them up a live leaderboard. When time runs out, the winners take home prizes and the nonprofit gets its check.
Zero cost to start.
Councils and chapters we've worked with
You pick the cause and the prizes. We do the rest.

Money goes where you chose
When the race ends, prizes are awarded and your share goes to the cause you picked. Money never touches the house.
One card for the whole campus. Every chapter in the race.
A 30 day race for a whole IFC or Panhellenic council, or a single chapter on its own. Live leaderboards rank chapters and sellers, raffles reward every few cards sold, and the winners take home prizes while the nonprofit gets its check.
Run it for the whole council, or just your chapter.
A council wide competition
Your council partners with Tailgate and every chapter joins one race. Chapters are ranked across campus and by division, the council sets the prizes, and one shared student card carries deals all over town.
- Campus wide and division leaderboards
- Prizes and raffles set by the council
- One nonprofit, or one per chapter
Your chapter, your philanthropy
No council needed. Your chapter runs its own 30 day fundraiser with member leaderboards, raffles for top sellers and a card your whole network will want.
- Member leaderboard inside your chapter
- Raffle entries for every 5 cards sold
- Your half goes to your philanthropy
Nothing hidden. Here's every dollar of a $25 card.
We keep $12.50 to run the program. The other $12.50 belongs to your group, split between your prizes and the cause you chose: a nonprofit or your own chapter.
Your cause
The nonprofit or chapter you chose receives its share when the competition ends.
The prizes
Rewards for top chapters and top sellers, scoped campus wide or by division.
Tailgate
Covers the card, local deals, Apple Wallet delivery, payments and the leaderboard.
Exactly how the $12.50 splits between prizes and your cause is agreed with your council or chapter before launch.
A card students actually keep using.
The campus card is loaded with deals at the places students already go: food, coffee, late night spots and more. It lives in Apple Wallet, so it's there every time they pay.
- Bought from a friend's link in under a minute
- Saved to Apple Wallet, valid for the whole year
- Perks at local spots, like skip the line nights
Less to manage, more to show for it.
No cash to reconcile and no product to hand out. You get live standings for chapter meetings, one dashboard for every seller and clear totals for your reports.
Campus questions
Can one chapter do this without the council?
Yes. Any chapter can run its own 30 day fundraiser with a member leaderboard and raffles. Council wide competitions just add more houses to the race.
Does every chapter have to join a council competition?
No. Chapters opt in, but it's more fun and raises more when the whole council takes part.
Who decides the prizes?
Your council or chapter does, before launch. Prizes can cover the whole campus or a single division, with tiers for top chapters and top sellers.
How do the raffles work?
Every 5 cards a member sells earns one entry into the drawing. You can run more than one raffle at a time.
Does it cost anything to start?
No. There's zero cost to start. Tailgate keeps $12.50 from each card sold, and that's it.
