A readathon tracking spreadsheet alternative.
Spreadsheets can start a readathon, but they are hard to keep accurate once parents, teachers, donors, rewards, and payment status all change at the same time.
Readathon spreadsheets become the fundraiser.
A spreadsheet can track a few totals, but most school readathons need more than totals. Someone has to update reading minutes, donation status, classroom progress, student prizes, refunds, and family questions.
That work usually lands on the school office or a volunteer who spends the campaign reconciling instead of communicating.
Move the live work into the software.
Use spreadsheets where they make sense.
PagePledge still supports spreadsheet imports for rosters because that is often the fastest way to get classrooms and students into the system.
The difference is that the spreadsheet is used for setup, not as the live operating system for the whole fundraiser.
FAQ
Can we import our existing student spreadsheet?
Yes. PagePledge supports roster imports so the school can create classrooms and students without typing every record by hand.
Can we export results after the campaign?
PagePledge is designed to give school admins campaign totals and transaction visibility. Export needs can be handled as part of onboarding.
Is this only for large schools?
No. Smaller schools can benefit too, especially when one person is managing donations, reading logs, and communication.
