[Trying to Help]

Yeah for small teams in rural areas! We might not be as rural as you but we face many of the same challenges. It's great that you've raised so much already. Did you like using Crowdwise?

We're using GoFundMe and while the fees are fairly steep (5% to GoFundMe plus 2.9% and .30 per transaction to WePay their payment processor), I found that GoFundMe's customer service to be top notch.

Maybe you can stop by our pit during champs and we can swap ideas about managing to cultivate a team where the regional high school has about 80 kids per grade, the same businesses are always being asked for donations, etc. I've been learning a ton lately from other teams about fundraising (thank you Windham Windup and Infinite Loop!) and will happily share what we've done and what we hope to do.

It's our first year too and we've waited eight years for this point. {grin}
