What is Raise Craze?
Raise Craze is an online fundraising platform where students request donations from family and friends via their own secure fundraising page. In return, they complete Acts of Kindness (AOKs) for others.
Instead of selling, students are serving, learning the importance of kindness, gratitude, and giving back.
Check out the “How It Works” video to see how this super simple and sweet fundraiser works!
