When Elaine Davis stepped up as treasurer of the Pittsburgh Northstars, she didn’t expect the role to be so involved. “The treasurer was leaving and nobody was stepping up… I said I would do it and did not realize how involved it was going to be,” she shared. Managing payments across multiple programs, levels, and timelines quickly became overwhelming. That’s when she turned to Cheddar Up. Recommended by other board members, it offered an easy way to create recurring payments for athlete assessments. Parents could “set it and forget it” at the start of the season and Cheddar Up handled the rest.
Success Stories
How Voyager K-8 PTO Boosted Fundraising with P2P
Before Cheddar Up, Voyager K-8 PTO was spread thin using multiple platforms for payments, registrations, and communication. Nothing was centralized, and it was difficult to keep everyone on the same page. Ansel wanted a single solution that could manage all the PTO’s needs and save time in the process. Cheddar Up quickly became their go-to for everything: payments, sign-ups, spirit wear sales, and events. Using QR codes and a central collection page, they made it easy for parents and staff to find exactly what they needed. Everything lived in one place, which simplified communication and boosted participation across all types of collections.
How the Ninety-Nines Simplified Dues and Boosted Fundraising
Before Cheddar Up, the Eastern New England Chapter of the Ninety-Nines relied on a mix of paper forms, checks, and manual record-keeping. Members had to print registration forms, find a stamp, mail everything in, and wait for confirmation. For Sue, who manages finances for both her chapter and section, this meant piles of paperwork and hours spent sorting through details. As part of an international network of women pilots, the Ninety-Nines are constantly on the move — hosting fly-ins, pancake breakfasts, luncheons, and outreach programs. Managing money and information efficiently became critical to keeping their chapter focused on what matters most: camaraderie, scholarships, and inspiring the next generation of pilots.
How Hilltoppers Pony Club Simplified Club Management with Cheddar Up
Before Margot Miller became District Commissioner of Hilltoppers Pony Club, the club had started using Cheddar Up for dues, but she saw its bigger potential. Managing a local Pony Club chapter means collecting payments for national dues, regional fees, event registrations, and visitor access—plus organizing seasonal camps and fundraisers.
South Portland Little League: Modernized Fundraising & Concessions
For Jennifer Ryan, Vice President of South Portland Little League, modernizing how the league handled money wasn’t just about convenience-it was a necessary step to keep up with changing habits.
How TXDAR Simplified Statewide Collections with Cheddar Up
Texas Society Daughters of the American Revolution (TXDAR) had long relied on a paper-based system for collecting dues and contributions which required chapters to mail checks monthly. Switching to Cheddar Up helped the organization leave all that behind.
