BASIS Phoenix students, families, and staff united this year for Thanks in Action, a meaningful fundraising effort that raised over $20,000 in support of the school’s Annual Teacher Fund. Coordinated by Cassie, the event focused on celebrating and supporting the dedicated teachers who make a daily impact in the classroom.
Supporting Teachers Who Make a Difference
The Annual Teacher Fund plays a vital role in recognizing and supporting BASIS Phoenix educators. Funds raised through Thanks in Action directly contribute to teacher appreciation, retention, and resources that enhance the learning experience for students across all grade levels.
“This fundraiser gave families a simple and direct way to show appreciation for our teachers,” Cassie shared. “It felt purposeful and very aligned with our school values.”
Making Fundraising Simple with PledgeStar
A key factor in the fundraiser’s success was the use of PledgeStar, which made participation easy and accessible for everyone involved.
Student registration was quick and straightforward, allowing students to send out donation requests within minutes. Families appreciated how intuitive the platform was, especially the ability to share fundraising links digitally with friends and relatives near and far.
“PledgeStar really removed the barriers,” Cassie noted. “Students could focus on participating, families could easily support them, and organizers didn’t have to spend hours managing logistics.”
A Positive Experience for the Whole Community
Because the fundraising process was so streamlined, the school community was able to focus on what mattered most: gratitude, participation, and connection. Students felt empowered sending out their own requests, families found it easy to contribute, and teachers felt genuinely supported by the collective effort.
Thanks in Action demonstrated how a well-organized fundraiser paired with the right tools can make a meaningful impact. BASIS Phoenix extends sincere thanks to all who participated and helped make this fundraiser a success, as well as to the PledgeStar team for providing a platform that made the entire process efficient and stress-free.
With strong community support and accessible tools like PledgeStar, BASIS Phoenix continues to find thoughtful ways to invest in the educators who help students thrive every day.
