Who We Are

From a college dorm room to the nation's largest school fundraising company — here's the story, the mission, and the people behind Boosterthon.

Our Story

Chris and Lyndie Carneal launched Boosterthon in 2002 as students at Samford University. What started as a small idea has grown into the nation’s largest school fundraising company, now serving nearly 6,000 schools across all 50 states.

Our Mission

Boosterthon’s mission is to strengthen schools. That’s what the $1 billion+ raised so far really represents — funds that go directly back into education, whether it’s a new gym floor, an updated computer lab, or other resources a school couldn’t otherwise afford. Our program is built so students are part of the process from day one, so they feel like they played a real role in helping their own school — not just watching from the sidelines.

Our Values

We live by six virtues in everything we do: Gratitude, Wisdom, Care, Courage, Grit, &Celebration Each one shapes how we show up for schools, for each other, and for the communities we serve.

Our Impact

Nearly 6,000 schools. 900+ team members. Over 43,000 events. More than $1 billion raised. Every number represents a school that got new playgrounds, technology, programs, and resources they couldn’t have funded otherwise.

Our Team & Careers

Our people are the reason schools keep coming back. From our Elementary School Field Team to our Home Office Support Team, every role is built around growth, mentorship, and purpose-driven work.
