Fundraising for school groups, sports teams, etc. has always been such a challenging and tedious process for youth. How many candy bars and candles can you really sell to your friends and family?? PiggyBackr does a fantastic job making group fundraising FUN and "competitive" for youth. A much needed application!!

Cool idea, looks well-executed, and definitely serving a worthy cause. Do you have any evidence that this is better than the current way of doing things, which I guess would be candy drives and magazine subscriptions and all that?

Dig the idea, but what do you guys do that is different from going through other crowdfunding platform. What makes you more than just a kickstartr/indiegogo clone with an education theme?

This project is awesome. I work with a wheelchair basketball program that raised a ton of money using Piggybackr and the platform made the whole process so easy. Thanks!

Wow, wish I had access to this when I was in school; this is orders of magnitude more effective than going door to door selling gift wrap.
