The New Year is rolling in and what a year it's been! With over $2,000,000 dollars raised to help kids play sports, athletes get to the olympics, schools raise money, and hospitals acquire new equipment, we are truly in awe of all of the teams and organizations who have used FlipGive this year. Check out this year's top fundraisers, and find out how they made the most of their year!
Gage Sales:
Gage Sales has made the US National Football team and he cannot even begin to tell you how excited he is! He lives and breathes football and truly loves this sport and to make this team is a huge honor for him. He's had the support of so many family, friends and his school which has been very touching. The funds will be used for travel expenses as we embark from Indiana to Texas and stay for an entire week. We couldn't have done it without the help of FlipGive!
Brandon Hudgins:
It was less than a decade ago that Brandon Hudgins was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease that changed his entire life. Hudgins suffers from a form of vasculitis known as granulomatosis, a disease that attacks the small blood vessels in the body and can be fatal. In August of 2015 Hudgins became the 448th American to break the four-minute-mile barrier and continues to pursue his dream of competing in the Olympics. Hudgens is has almost reached his goal, raising almost $2000 of his $3000 goal thus far.

12U Outlaws:
Our team steadily shopped all year round for Cooperstown, and it's awesome to see how it's paid off" said team mom Janine Urbano. "We were able to raise enough money to significantly help subsidize the cost of going to Cooperstown, and I'm so touched by all the people that shopped to support us." 12U Outlaws raised $6,500 dollaes to help their team get to Cooperstown!
Diamond Divas:
The Diamond Divas raised 153% of their $5000 dollar goal to send their team to the Jennie Finch experience. "Everyone on the team really contributed to our fundraiser. We had a great team of people that were involved in our fundraiser, and because we all promoted it, we had a lot more supporters coming through."
Noam's Bar Mitzvah Fundraiser:
Noam set a goal to buy special equipment for the Brain Tumour Research Lab at SickKids in loving memory of his twin sister Tali. With the help of his FlipGive fundraiser, he reached his $3,000 dollar goal.
From the entire team at FlipGive, we thank you for an amazing year. We can't wait to see what 2017 brings!
