🗣️ TESTIMONIAL TUESDAY 🗣️ When your goal is $7,500 and you end up raising OVER $20,000.. that’s a WIN. 🔥 Huge thank you to William McDonald and the CTE Criminal Justice Program for the incredible testimonial! Their initial goal was $7,500, but with Vertical Raise, they ended up raising more than 3X their goal! 💰 William says he can’t say enough about how fantastic the entire experience was, and a huge part of that was working with Kyle Spitler. Kyle guided them step by step through the entire process, making everything simple and easy from start to finish. The best part? William says they did almost everything on their end and it was the easiest fundraiser he’s ever been a part of. Huge shoutout to Kyle for showing up and helping this program crush their goal! 👏 $7.5K goal → $20K+ raised.

🗣️ TESTIMONIAL THURSDAY We don’t just help you launch a fundraiser, we stick around to see it through. Huge thank you to Deon Shazier, Athletic Director at Four Corners Upper School, for shouting out Vertical Raise and Quentin Whitaker! After 3 years with Vertical Raise, Deon says one of the biggest differences is that our reps don’t disappear after the sale. Quentin shows up, runs meetings, gets students prepared for launch, and takes work off the athletic department’s plate from start to finish. And he even hand-delivers every check so Deon never has to worry about it getting lost in the mail! That’s what WE SHOW UP means. Real support, real relationships, and reps who stay involved long after the fundraiser launches. Huge shoutout to Quentin for always taking care of his programs! 👏 #TestimonialThursday #VerticalRaise #WeShowUp #FundraisingDoneRight
