🗣️ TESTIMONIAL TUESDAY 🗣️ Five years. One rep. One relationship that keeps getting stronger. 👏 Coach Harrison has had nothing but great things to say about his experience with Vertical Raise, and he’s been working with Phil Shelley for FIVE YEARS! Year after year, Phil has continued to show up, support their program, and deliver an amazing fundraising experience. That kind of consistency is what we’re all about. 💙 We don’t want to be a one-time fundraiser for our coaches and teams. We want to build relationships that last. Huge shoutout to Phil for five years of showing up and taking care of his programs, and thank you to Coach Harrison for continuing to trust us! 🙌 #TestimonialTuesday #VerticalRaise #WeShowUp #FundraisingDoneRight #HighSchoolAthletics

This is what showing up looks like. 👏🔥 Our reps don’t just launch a fundraiser and step away, they’re in the room, in the moment, and right there with the team making fundraising fun, bringing the energy, and helping athletes stay engaged from start to finish. Just look at Vinny DeVivo getting the 2026 Waynesburg University Football team fired up! 👏 And the result? $49,087 raised. 💰🏈 That’s the Vertical Raise difference: show up, bring the energy, and help make it happen. #VerticalRaise #RaiseMoreWorkLess #FundraisingSuccess #WaynesburgFootball #CollegeFootball

🏆 TESTIMONIAL TUESDAY 🏆 Sometimes, the right fundraising partner can completely change the trajectory of a program. 💙 When Coach Stevens inherited a program that didn’t have much to work with, he brought in Mike Resetar and Vertical Raise. What happened next? $14,000 raised with minimal time away from the field. 💰🔥 That money helped provide the program with new uniforms, new technology, and new opportunities, and helped set the stage for a great season. 👏 Having experience with other online fundraising platforms, Coach Stevens knows the difference. From the simple sign-up process to the user-friendly platform that keeps athletes, families, and donors engaged, Vertical Raise made the entire experience seamless. A HUGE shoutout to Mike Resetar for showing up and delivering for this program, and thank you, Coach Stevens, for being such a strong advocate for Vertical Raise! $14K. New uniforms. New technology.
