Raise funds. Earn rewards. Build a memory.
Buddy’s Palooza brings together online fundraising, student prizes, and an unforgettable in-person Buddy Build. A fundraiser families can feel good about—and students can’t wait to finish.
*Buddy’s Palooza is subject to team and date availability. Following a consultation, we may recommend Buddy’s Popcorn & More if an in-person event isn’t feasible.
Schools earn up to 60% of donations.
Every Buddy’s Palooza campaign has the same simple tiered donation payouts.
The donation tier is based on combined eligible donations and product sales and applies to all eligible donations once reached. Schools receive 30% of eligible Buddy Shop sales at every tier.
Easy to launch. Exciting to finish.
You bring your school community. We provide the fundraising platform, incentive system, and a hands-on experience students will remember.
A Buddy Build worth showing up for.
Students choose a buddy, bring it to life with stuffing and a heart, and leave with something they made themselves. It’s the moment that makes Buddy’s Palooza different.
✓ A hands-on school celebration ✓ Reward choices throughout the campaign ✓ An experience built around your students
