Is HOP a good fundraiser for marching bands and school music programs?

Yes. HOP is built for busy programs like band. There's no product to hand out, no order forms, and no cash to collect — students and parents just share a link.

How much can a band program raise with HOP?

Organizations using HOP can build stronger participation by choosing a prize their supporters genuinely want to win and share.

Does a HOP fundraiser take time away from rehearsal?

No. Launching takes minutes and there's no product inventory, delivery day, or cash to count. HOP software manages the campaign page, payments, compliance tools, and random drawing process; your program supplies and awards the prize.

Is there any cost or risk for the band program?

Campaign expenses are disclosed clearly before launch, with no monthly subscription.

Built for Programs That Don't Have Time to Fundraise

You already run rehearsals, football games, marching shows, and concerts. Your fundraiser shouldn't be another production you have to figure out.

No More Fruit Boxes in the Band Room

No cases of citrus, no cookie dough freezers, no spirit wear bins. HOP is 100% digital — there's nothing to order, store, sort, or hand out on a Thursday night at 7pm.

Your Families Don't Sell. They Share.

Families share a link by text, email, and social media. Supporters enter online in under a minute. No door-to-door selling, no order forms to chase down.

Zero Time Away from the Podium

You have rehearsals to run, shows to clean, and a trip itinerary to plan. HOP launches in minutes, and the software manages the campaign page, payments, compliance tools, and random drawing process.

Boosters Will Love the Accounting

No cash box. No checks in envelopes. Every entry is processed digitally and funds are paid directly to your program's account, with clean reporting your treasurer can actually use.

A Prize People Actually Want

Instead of asking for the third candy purchase this year, choose a prize your community genuinely wants. Your program supplies, pays for, and delivers the prize; supporters help extend your reach by sharing.

Easy Admin Approval Process

We provide a ready-to-use packet — official rules, free-entry provisions, and compliance documentation — you can hand straight to your school administration for approval. Need help presenting it? We're here to walk you through it.
