You’re in good company
Every month, Cheddar Up helps hundreds of schools, nonprofits and community groups raise thousands of dollars for athons — from readathons and walkathons to fun runs and swimathons. Check out what our users are saying:
“We had a goal of $12,000, budgeted for $13,000 because we hoped Cheddar Up would make a difference with having an easy, online option. We raised over $16,600, which is much more than we ever thought possible!”
