"The Stock Market Challenge has helped JA Wichita get back on its feet with corporate sponsorships. We plan to always offer this wonderful opportunity for the Wichita area high school juniors and seniors. Having the event during one of our country's most difficult financial times turned out to be perfect timing. Everyone was really ready for a night of serious fun. Local corporations found it refreshing to enjoy an evening out in this unique team building environment, plus a nice chance to mingle with other business leaders in the area." Polly Gentry, Event Co-Chair, JA Wichita |

"It was easy working with Fun-Raiser and the staff was amazing to work with. Planning The Stock Market Challenge was a lot of fun, especially seeing how competitive the teams got prior to the event.

"The Stock Market Challenge is the most exciting event in Boston! Fun-Raiser makes it easy to plan and they are very flexible and accommodating to all of JA's specific needs. It's rare to get more than one hundred teenagers excited about anything these days but this event does exactly that. Through the Challenge, the students get a first-hand glimpse of how the Stock Market works and they have so much fun at the same time. Then at night, our donors, board members and friends come play the game. During these tough economic times, everyone deserves a night to let loose with their co-workers and the Stock Market Challenge was a perfect opportunity for them to do so. Everyone leaves with a smile on their face. We can't wait for next year's event, in fact some teams have already reserved their spots!" Andrea Farwell, Special Events & Marketing Manager, JA Eastern Mass. |

"At a crazy time in the world of philanthropy, when we are all looking for ways to raise funds and engage our corporate partners, Fun-Raiser, Inc. brings a unique special event to the equation in their Stock Market Challenge event. Boys & Girls Club of the Midlands (BGCM) introduced this event in Omaha one month after the soon to be infamous market crash of 2008. The game was a great way for our donors to "blow-off some steam" and have fun while playing a game that had its own market twists and turns. We were able to bring new donors and volunteers to the table and had a wonderful experience. In our first year, we brought in $140,000 that we dropped directly to the bottom line. Fun-Raiser, Inc. brought the technology and expertise to the equation. BGCM brought the donors and the volunteers. Together, we have built a special event that not only added value in year one but our student event helped 100 of our kids learn about the stock market." Laura Schabloske, Chief Development Officer, Boys & Girls Club of the Midlands. |
