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.
