From launch to thank-you, RunPledge emails every family on a schedule: a kickoff with their child's QR code, reminders in the run-up to the event, and a thank-you at close. When parents write back with questions, we answer them, not your committee.

Premium

What you need to approve it.
Student privacy by design
Public pages and emails show first name and last initial only. Student records belong to one campaign; no profile follows a child from year to year.
Money goes to your school
Donations settle to your school's own Stripe account. Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Link only.
No contracts
No upfront fees and nothing to sign. Choose Free or Premium for each campaign.
