How the Game Works (It's Simple & Fun!)
We're using an exciting new fundraising approach called Bumpsale that turns your donation into part of a community-wide game! Here's how it works as a donor:
🎯 Start Small, Build Big: The donation amount starts at an accessible amount and automatically increases by $5 with each person who donates after you.
🚀 You Set the Pace: When you donate, you're not just supporting our programs—you're "bumping up" the donation amount for the next person, creating momentum that builds throughout our campaign.
🎮 Watch the Progress: Every donation moves us higher on the fundraising scoreboard, and you'll be part of the exciting climb toward our $10,000 goal.
💝 Transparent & Secure: The process happens automatically and securely in real-time. You donate just like any normal online transaction—the "bump" magic happens behind the scenes!
