About Shoot-A-Thon

Shoot-A-Thon is a basketball shoot-a-thon fundraising platform that turns free throws into funding. Players create a personal fundraising page in minutes — adding their story, a goal, a short video, and an event date — then share one link with friends and family. Supporters can give a flat one-time gift or pledge a set amount for every free throw the player makes, with a five-dollar minimum and no upper cap. On event day, the player tracks makes and misses live from their phone, and per-shot pledges are settled automatically once the final whistle blows. Every donor receives a printable receipt for their tax records, and organizers get a clear payout dashboard to track where the money goes.

It is built for youth and school basketball teams, AAU programs, and any community organization that wants to raise money the active, fun way — replacing candy-bar drives and car washes with something players already love doing. Coaches and team parents run the events; players share their pages; donors cheer from the sidelines or from across the country. The whole experience is mobile-first, so a player can launch and manage a fundraiser from the gym, the bus, or the kitchen table.

Shoot-A-Thon is built and maintained by the team behind the platform, with secure payments powered by Base44 Payments, real-time shot tracking, automated donor receipts, and an AI fundraising assistant that coaches players through telling their story and reaching their goal.
