What is a Basketball Shoot-a-thon Event?
Unfamiliar with conducting a basketball shoot-a-thon event? It's a popular choice for basketball teams to raise funding while creating some fun. Recently a team used the Free Throws-4-Funds app to raise over $4,600 during their Saturday event...while having fun practicing their free throws.
How does it work? Players typically shoot 100 free throws during a single, or multiple day, event and based upon the number of shots made they earn funds for their team. Players request pledges from sponsors, like friends and family, for each shot made and/or for a flat donation amount. Players typically request their pledges before the event starts but the Free Throws-4-Funds app also allows players to enter pledges during and after the event. It's a terrific way to raise funding with players also getting extra free throw shooting practice. The Free Throws-4-Funds app was designed specifically to make running a shoot-a-thon event fun and easy.

Getting Started is Easy
- Coaches and players download the app from the Apple App Store (it's free). Sponsors don't need the app. Communication with sponsors is done through the players directly with the app's integrated text messaging.
- The coach creates their new team in the app and shares the team name and password with their players. New team registration takes less than 5 minutes.
- The players then enter their names along with their favorite pics, or selfies, into the app's team roster.
- The coach schedules their team's shoot-a-thon event in the app (a nominal, in-app purchase is required). The event can be scheduled for a single day or over multiple days. For example, a coach may desire to have their players each shoot 20 free throws after practice during a week. The sponsors text message for this event can be tailored when the event is scheduled, or afterwards. This text message can be tailored as many times as desired.
- Next, the players request and enter their sponsors pledges in the app for the scheduled event. The player has the option to send a text message to their sponsors confirming their pledges. Sponsor pledges can be entered in the app before, during, or after the event.
- On the day(s) of the shoot-a-thon event, the players will shoot the number of specified shots and record their "makes and misses" in the app's scoreboard. The app's Stats tab provides live updated reports for coaches and players to monitor the event's progress. During the event, players can share their scoreboard stats – and photos - to their sponsors using the integrated text messaging feature.
- After the event is over, players use the app's built-in features to send an automated text message to their sponsors with the final donations amounts due. Again, the event's text message can be easily tailored by the coach, for example, to direct sponsors to your team's website or to the Free Throws-4-Funds website with payment instructions.
- Coaches and players then track the collection of donations with the app's sponsors reports. Also, follow-up text messages can be sent to sponsors to remind them to make their donations.
- That's it. It's really this easy!
