Creating a pledge-for-performance challenge
Manage a campaign

Follow the steps below to make your own "-a-thon" fundraiser, where donors can pledge a certain dollar amount for a particular performance goal.

  1. Navigate to your FanAngel Campaign Admin page.
  2. Click the Challenges tab.
  3. Click the +Add button.
  4. In the middle of the page, you'll see 4 sub-tabs: Subject, Challenge, Event, and Defaults.
  5. On the Subject tab, you'll see 3 items in the drop-down menu: Team, Player, and Custom. Team or Player are handy if you've already imported a team roster, but Custom can be used regardless. 
  6. Click the Custom tab and enter your player’s name in the Name field.
  7. Click the Challenge sub-tab.
  8. The Sport field is optional. Leave that blank and enter the goal you are measuring in your -a-thon (such as pounds for a lift-a-thon) in the Goal field.  
  9. Click the Each/For Each toggle button. This means you are collecting a donation per each goal measure (such as pounds).
  10. Now click the Event sub-tab. This is how you can describe the event for the challenge. Enter your event’s name (such as "Pirate's Lift-a-Thon"). 
  11. For the Event Prefix, you are typing words that make sense as you customize the text in your Preview text box. 
  12. Finally, if your event date did not default automatically, edit the date for your event in the Preview text box. 
  13. Click the Defaults sub-tab and enter the Selected Pledge Amount and the Selected Max Amount.
  14. Click Save to create your first challenge pledge.

Since this is a Team event, you will want to make the same challenge for each player. To do that quickly, just:

  1. Click the +Add button
  2. Click Apply Template. You will see all the Challenges you have already created. Select the challenge you need to add more players to.  
  3. On the Subject sub-tab, simply change Name to the next player's name. 
  4. Click Save.
  5. Repeat step 3 until you have added all of your players.
