  • “I began using RaiseRight to raise funds for one of my daughter's competition dance teams. A year and a half later, I found myself as a single mom, hoping that my girls could continue the activities they love. I launched a RaiseRight program for my other daughter's gymnastics team, and since starting, I’ve raised nearly $3,000 between both programs! RaiseRight enables me to afford their activities. And as a program coordinator, I love helping other families earn money through RaiseRight!”
