The four steps

Four moves. Big payoff.

Every Bounce Hype fundraiser follows the same proven flow. Here's what happens at each step and what it means for your PTO.

STEP 01

Pick your event

Bounce Day with six inflatables, our legendary Foam Frenzy, Glow Bash, Color Craze — pick the show that fits your school.

  • 15-min discovery call to match your space + bell schedule
  • Lock a date 6–10 weeks out, plus a free rain backup
  • We send a one-page kickoff packet for your PTO board
STEP 02

Students get pages

Every student gets a personalized donation page with avatar, thermometer, badges, and a one-tap parent share kit.

  • CSV roster import from your SIS — done in one upload
  • Apple Pay + Google Pay built in for 3-second checkout
  • FERPA-aligned: first name + last initial by default
STEP 03

Cue the hype

Live classroom leaderboards, daily challenges, milestone badges, confetti bursts — engineered to make kids actually care.

  • Six classroom badge tiers from Warm-Up to Roo Royalty
  • Five student tiers + stretch bonuses past goal
  • Auto-sent parent emails so PTOs don't write a single one
STEP 04

We bring the show

Our Florida crew rolls in before bell, sets up, runs the day with a hype MC, packs out, and your PTO is paid in days.

  • 8–10 trained Bounce Hype staff onsite
  • $2M general liability + your district added as additional insured
  • Funds in your PTO bank account in 3–5 business days
The 21-day plan

From kickoff call to bank deposit.

The exact week-by-week (and hour-by-hour) cadence we run for every Bounce Hype school.

  1. Day -10

    Kickoff call

    30 minutes with your PTO. We map the field, confirm bell times, set the goal, lock the rain backup.

  2. Day -7

    Roster upload

    Drop your CSV. We provision every student page, every classroom dashboard, and email the launch packet.

  3. Day 0

    Launch day

    Auto-sent parent email goes out. Most schools see 30–40% of donations in the first 48 hours.

  4. Day 1–13

    Hype window

    Classroom leaderboards update live, badges fire, daily reminder emails go to families who haven't given yet.

  5. Day 14

    Event day

    Trucks at 6am. Setup by 8. First classroom rotation at 9. Hype MC, music, every kid plays — regardless of $ raised.

  6. Day 17

    Funds in your account

    Every dollar (minus our small platform fee) lands in your verified PTO bank account inside a week of event day.

Division of labor

We bring the show. You bring the kids.

That's basically the whole deal. Here's the line-item breakdown.

Bounce Hype brings

Everything below.

  • Equipment + delivery
    Inflatables, foam cannons, generators, sound system, decor — all trucked in.
  • Trained crew
    8–10 staff including a dedicated event lead and hype MC.
  • Insurance + safety
    $2M GL, district added as additional insured, every unit inspected.
  • DJ + MC + music
    Custom playlist by grade band. Clean lyrics. Crowd-tested bangers.
  • Photo + video
    Onsite photographer; gallery and recap reel sent same day.
  • Marketing kit
    Customized flyers, posters, parent emails, social graphics.
Your PTO does

Roughly four things.

  • Upload your roster
    One CSV from your SIS. ~10 minutes total.
  • Pick the date
    We'll suggest 3 open slots based on your space and bell schedule.
  • Approve the launch email
    We draft it. You read it. Tweak if you want. Hit send.
  • Show up and cheer
    Bring volunteers if you want — but we don't need them to run the day.
Total time commitment: ~2 hours across three weeks. One PTO president told us it was "less work than the bake sale."

Quick answers

The questions PTOs ask on the call.

How early do we need to book?+
Most schools lock a date 6–10 weeks out. Spring dates (March–April) fill fastest — reach out by January if that's your window.
What if it rains on event day?+
We make the call by 6am and reschedule to your backup date at no charge. No lost deposits, no scrambling.
Do PTO volunteers need to staff the day?+
Nope. Our crew runs every rotation. Volunteers are welcome for photos and high-fives, but the event runs without them.
How does the money flow?+
Donations go to a Stripe account in your PTO's name. After event day, funds settle and transfer to your verified bank in 3–5 business days.
Is student data safe?+
FERPA-aligned. Students appear by first name + last initial. Parents control profile photos. We never sell or share data — full stop.
