  • The Author Event That Sold Out in a Day and Raised $8,000

    The Author Event That Sold Out in a Day and Raised $8,000
    2026/08/05

    Kari Austin is the chief school finance officer at Mountain Brook Schools in Alabama, and this year her district tried something it had never done. Its two-day teacher conference always closes with a keynote, and this year's speaker was author Allen Levi, whose novel Theo of Golden had spread through the community by word of mouth. Instead of leaving the extra auditorium seats empty, the district opened them to the public at $25 a ticket. It sold out in under 24 hours and raised more than $8,000, on an event that had never made a dollar.

    Kari walks through how a two-person team ran it with almost no extra work, why the seats moved so fast (book clubs bought eight at a time), and exactly what she'd change next time: release all your seats at once, state your refund policy up front, and keep a paper list at the door. A clear-eyed, low-risk playbook any school or district can copy.

  • The Serve-A-Thon: Funding a Whole Cheer Season by Giving Back

    The Serve-A-Thon: Funding a Whole Cheer Season by Giving Back
    2026/07/29
    Morgan Fabrizio co-coaches cheer at Duchesne High in a small Utah town, where the program gets no district budget and she has to raise every dollar it costs to run. Her answer is a serve-a-thon: for every $250 the team raises, the squad performs an hour of community service, cleaning the bleachers, scrubbing Main Street, playing elves at the town Christmas. It raised over $5,000 this year with 16 cheerleaders, and it's only one piece of the puzzle. Morgan walks Mark through her whole funding portfolio: a tiered business-sponsorship program (ad packages from $100 to $1,000) that brings in around $20,000, junior clinics, concessions, and a per-family self-pay amount. Along the way she drops a season's worth of hard-won advice: build the budget first, tell parents the real number, keep the window short, and remember the money comes from asking people directly, not from posting and hoping.

  • The $1,000 Uniform Sale: How a Free Exchange Grew a Fundraiser Instead of Killing It

    The $1,000 Uniform Sale: How a Free Exchange Grew a Fundraiser Instead of Killing It
    2026/07/22
    Emile Gibson is the business administrator at Monticello Academy, a K-8 charter school where uniforms are required, and she runs one of the most efficient fundraisers we've come across: a used uniform sale. Families donate the uniforms their kids outgrow, the school stores them by size all year, and every summer they sell them back secondhand for a few dollars a piece. Two hours, about a thousand dollars, and a genuine service for a community where many families are stretching every dollar. In this episode, Emile walks Mark through the whole model: why you build the inventory before you plan the event, the free piece-for-piece exchange the board was sure would cut revenue in half (it did the opposite), the three-station floor that keeps checkout from turning to chaos, and why timing the sale before the big-box back-to-school rush matters. If your school has a dress code, this is a playbook you can copy.
