BOULDER, Colo. and TORONTO, Ontario, Feb. 28, 2019 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — TeamSnap, the household name in integrated sports management, and FlipGive, a trusted platform for youth sports fundraising, announced a joint partnership in a combined effort to make youth sports more affordable for families.
With the new partnership, TeamSnap will integrate FlipGive’s innovative team funding tool across its industry-leading platform. TeamSnap is the go-to team management source with more than 20 million athletes, parents, coaches and club administrators leveraging its easy-to-use apps and software every day.
“The high and growing costs associated with youth sports are a major stress point for families. We are seeing that more and more families are forced to opt their children out of sports altogether,” said TeamSnap co-founder and CEO Dave DuPont. “Partnering with FlipGive is one step we’re taking to raise awareness and improve this top issue facing youth sports. FlipGive offers an innovative and easy way for TeamSnap users to raise funds for teams and athletes simply by leveraging their everyday purchases.”
Through FlipGive, teams, athletes and supporters earn cash when they shop for groceries, gas, clothes, equipment, meals out, travel and more. With over 700 top-name retailers, including Starbucks, Amazon, Hotels.com and Walmart, groups can easily raise money through their everyday spending.
“Families are forced to sacrifice so much so that their kids can have access to a sport they love” said Mark Bachman, co-founder and CEO, FlipGive. “TeamSnap’s close connection to sports teams and families, along with its unmatched reach, make them the perfect partner to help us accomplish our goal of raising $100 million for youth sports teams over the next five years.”
