The Challenge

The Cheer Fundraising Challenge

World Cup All Stars is a competitive cheerleading organization based in Freehold, New Jersey. The cheer program faced challenges common across youth sports fundraising:

Traditional fundraising drained coaches' and parents' time.
Donors wanted transparency and purpose, not product sales.
Sharing links, tracking progress, and motivation were difficult.
Hard to show meaningful impact beyond helping with competition costs.
Over-reliance on a few families to run fundraisers.
Missed donations from modern, digital-first supporters.
The Solution

A Digital Fundraiser That Supports Athletes and Reforestation

World Cup All Stars Freehold partnered with Plantd to launch three athlete-led digital campaigns.

Digital Campaign Pages

Each athlete had a shareable page with their story, goals, and tree impact. Supporters could see exactly how many trees each donation would plant.

Share-Ready Links

Parents and athletes shared campaign links via text, email, and social platforms. Supporters donated instantly from wherever they were.

Real-Time Impact

Coaches and donors saw live totals for funds raised, trees planted, CO₂ offset, and acres reforested through a live dashboard.

Transparent Donor Experience

Every donation showed its exact environmental impact in real time, encouraging repeat and higher contributions.

Ongoing Backend Support

Plantd handled setup, messaging, promotional visuals, and provided ongoing performance insights to maintain momentum.
