What is a Liftathon?
It's really up to you...
"An event held at the school to record strength and offseason athlete gains usually measured by max lifts"
(Bench, Squat, Deadlift)
Elevate Your Offseason with a LIFTATHON!
A LIFTATHON is not only a great way to keep your team dialed in during the offseason, but it’s also a powerful team-building event. Whether you host an organized competition or challenge your players to track their gains individually, the goal remains the same: Get Better Together.
With our OnlineDonations LIFTATHON App, you can easily set benchmarks, track progress, and record gains in real time. This free app, available to all high school programs, helps you see who’s truly putting in the work.
Need Extra Funds for the Season? We've Got You Covered!
If your program is looking to raise additional funds for the upcoming season, we can help you take your LIFTATHON efforts to the next level! Our OnlineDonations fundraising platform makes it easy to share your team's hard work with supporters across town—and even across the country.
Here’s How It Works:
- Choose Your Kickoff Date: Pick a date to start your LIFTATHON campaign.
- Connect with Supporters: We’ll send a personalized donation request to each athlete’s “circle of supporters” via email, text, and social media.
- Track Donations in Real Time: Watch as friends, family, and fans rally behind your team’s commitment to offseason improvement.
It’s all about rewarding your group for their dedication to getting better—and giving your supporters a chance to be part of that journey.
