Fundraise for Johnny Mac

Every dollar you raise provides scholarships and educational support for the children of fallen or disabled service members. By launching a campaign or hosting a fundraiser, you honor their sacrifice and help a student build their future through the gift of education.

How to Get Started

There are two great ways to support Johnny Mac Soldiers Fund:

1. Crowdfunding campaign—launch your own online fundraising page
2. Third-party fundraising—host an activity or event in your school, workplace, or community

Crowdfunding Campaign

Steps to launch your campaign:

• Choose your idea—birthday fundraiser, athletic challenge, tribute to a veteran, or something uniquely yours
• Set your goal—$250, $500, $1,000—you decide!
• Create your page—with our design support, page setup, and progress updates
• Share your story—tell friends, family, classmates, and coworkers why Johnny Mac Soldiers Fund matters to you
• Spread the word—post on social media, send texts or emails, and watch your impact grow

Crowdfunding ideas:

• Celebrate your birthday—ask for donations instead of gifts
• Honor a veteran—fundraise in honor of a family member or local hero
• Challenge yourself—run, bike, walk, or commit to a creative goal

Third-Party Fundraising

Host your own activity or event in support of Johnny Mac Soldiers Fund. These can be individual, group, school, or workplace efforts, such as:

• Corporate matching gift drive—employees give, and employers match
• Sales percentage—donate proceeds from a day or a specific product
• Sports tournament—golf outing, pickleball, bowling, or basketball with team fees
• Classroom or workplace challenge—read-a-thon, jeans day, or “boss challenge” (hit a fundraising goal and leadership takes on something fun like a dunk tank or pie-in-the-face)
