What do our customers have to say?

Don’t just believe what WE tell you about our fundraisers. Listen to what our actual customers have to say. We know you will feel the same way after trying us out.
Thank you to CharityMania for their support of The First Tee. With their help, we were able to raise over $5,700 profit with very little effort by using our board members to sell tickets locally. The end result has been fun to have all our ticket holders engaged through golf’s four majors all while supporting charity!

The CharityMania football fundraiser is an easy money maker for your organization. You don’t have to even like football… you just have to like winning money! Your buyer doesn’t have to pay attention to football like other football pool fundraisers and the return profit can’t be beat by any other fundraiser out there! 70% wow! I know this sounds like a commercial but I am just a very satisfied customer.

This was approximately the eighth year that our hockey club ran the HockeyMania fundraiser. The fundraiser is very easy to manage, both as an organizer and a parent. The return is awesome and the game is fun!! The only downside is that other clubs have starting selling the HockeyMania fundraiser too…goes to show you that it is a great fundraiser!!

I have been doing this fundraiser for years, I have continued every year because it is successful. Specifically it gets the dads involved in a fundraiser for the group.

FootballMania is the easiest fundraiser we have ever done. We have gained over $24,000 and the best part is you don’t need to know anything about football to win!

I’m a returning user of CharityMania because it offers the best return for the money spent on the ticket. I’ve used CharityMania in the past to help fund my travel baseball teams cost for tournaments. The fact that you also can win some cash playing the game is a bonus to people. Hands down its one of the easiest fund raisers out there.
Hyde Park Little League

Hyde Park, NY

I am a returning customer and decided to use this fundraiser because of how successful it has been with our organization. CharityMania is very user friendly to manage and easy to explain to members that are participating. The website and support for CharityMania are very useful too. My organization has even been exporting using CharityMania for more of our fundraising events throughout the year. Needless to say, I have been very happy with CharityMania.

Yours is one of the easiest fundraisers for the pay back I have come across in 25 years of Girl Scouts, soccer, public school, Elks, etc.
Wildwood Parade Fund

New Egypt, NJ

We have been using CharityMania as one of our annual fundraisers for the past several years. It has been very successful for our organization. The support provided to us by The CharityMania Team has been wonderful. Our members look forward to this fundraiser each and every year. It has become one of our major fundraisers for our Men’s Club organization.
Mary, Mother of The Church Men's Club

La Crosse, WI

CharityMania was by far one of the easiest fundraisers we have ever done. As a small school, we have never been able to sell 500 of anything. But we did for this fundraiser! This is one fundraiser we will be sure to repeat.
St. Agnes School

West Mifflin, PA

We have tried many other fundraisers but CharityMania is the best by far. The 70% profit that you make cannot be beat. The set-up is easy, selling is easy, and our buyers really enjoyed the games that CharityMania has to offer.

Wonderful program! CharityMania fundraisers are easy and effective and people LOVE that CharityMania keeps track of everything! We had great success with the HoopsMania program and will definitely do it again! We highly recommend CharityMania.

This was an absolute home run fundraiser for us last year! We raised $11000 on sales of less than 800 tickets! This year we stepped it up even more and exceeded $17,000 in profit!

We used another company last year but did not like it as much as we did our first year with your company. we returned this year and are grateful to be back. Thank you again
       Hamilton Jr Wildcats Football – Milwaukee, WI

I found your sweepstakes extremely fun to do! Usually, I buy a ticket put it in a drawer and wait to see if anyone calls. With HoopsMania, I was staying up after games, reviewing my teams, doing what ifs, etc. It was by far the most fun, I have had with a raffle-like game.
       Nick Waluszko – Chesterton, IN

We are a returning customer to CharityMania because it is well known, our parishioners have become accustomed to it. It is simple to play and also to keep track of it. The cost is reasonable and the fact that it extends the entire football season is just long enough. Your reporting system is also very good. Thank you for starting and managing a great tool to not only have fun as a community but also to make some needed funds.

Our high school football team started using Football Mania as an additional fundraiser last year. I had been originally exposed to it when my son played football in college. I introduced the fundraiser to our local youth sports league and now to the high school football team. This year, we are doing it again and have actually expanded the fundraiser to include our marching band. We are hoping to significantly increase the funds we raise as we have stopped one of the fundraisers we have done for years and replaced it with an expanded Football Mania. Our parents like the fundraiser because the tickets are easy to sell. Mark Peischl, Coordinator, Wayne Hills Football Mania

We had the kids sell the tickets at our practice facility and it was a great experience for them. Also it was so great that once they were sold there was nothing left to do but watch the games. Nothing to pick up and deliver!

Hello! This was the first time our organization has ever used CharityMania and it has by far been the best fundraiser I have been involved in. While the fundraiser was not as successful as we had hoped it would be we do look forward to using it again in the future. Educating ourselves and our students was probably our biggest disadvantage but we were in a time constraint as well. Being the Co-President of our organization I found many advantages to CharityMania. I found it very easy to inventory and distribute to the students. I found it easy to activate and log when tickets/ticket stubs were returned. The customer service was incredible (loved Dr. Neil Quinn Jr.), any question I had was answered right away so I was not left guessing or providing incorrect information to our students and their parents. The organization of the fundraiser on line was very simple and I especially liked that when it was time for the winners of the tickets that were sold/activated and un-activated came to me via email that I could display and was EASY on the EYES. It was great to see so many winners out of our group (sold/unsold). While explaining to our group we were able to show them that not just one person is a winner, many are winners so you should try to sell as many as you can. It was an eye opener to our group that we had a $1000 winning ticket that was NOT sold which got everyone excited to do it again in hopes we have another high winner. The payout was fantastic, we did not have to wait or worry when the money would be available to provide to our winners. The best part for our group is the 70% that we were able to keep in our organization since we are very small. This was new to our community so everyone was interested to see what it had to offer. I found that people were relieved that they did not have to choose teams or pick winners, it was random. They liked the idea of tracking their progress on line as well. Thank you again for this opportunity and I look forward to using CharityMania again in the near future. Have a great day!!!

At VFW Post 5151 we have used CharityMania twice in the past and will use you again this year. In my option it’s a no brainer to use CharityMania as a fundraiser. We trust CharityMania and it’s a simple formula to use to raise funds.

We were running behind in our fundraising efforts and needed to find another. I stumbled across CharityMania while trying to learn about March Madness brackets. I had questions, sent an email, and was called the next business day. This fundraiser is so easy and CharityMania does most of the work. We are passing this company on to the 2017 parents organization.

Our Milwaukee Women’s Bowling Association is always looking for ways to increase our funding. This was easy AND safe. And coming from a “football enthusiastic area” made our sales much easier. We look forward to the next football season and will start selling much earlier, Our Milwaukee men’s bowling association is also jumping on board with us. We expect our sales to – at the very least – TRIPLE!

The fundraiser allows those that may not have thought they could afford travel sports a platform to help them curb that expense. Hoffman United Thunder and Lighting soccer has used this to bridge the gap. There have been several people who have paid nothing for their daughter to play year in and year out. Great way to level the playing field for all that take advantage of it.

Advantages of using a CharityMania fundraiser… 1. Online Sales!, 2. Easy interactions with CharityMania Support People, 3. All the information is stored in one place, 4. Great overall fundraiser and hope to use it again in the future!

It’s interesting you sent this now. We just had a board meeting this week and discussed doing a different fundraiser in the fall. We have done CharityMania for the NFL for several years now. We just started getting pushback from some of our families regarding selling the tickets. But in the end we realized we could never get the kind of profit that we achieve from another fundraiser. So long story short – you can’t make the kind of profit with any other fundraiser that we’ve found.
       Rampage Softball Rage Baseball – Roselle, IL

We choose CharityMania as our fundraiser because the tickets are easy to sell, there’s cross gender interest and the return to our company is 70%. Plus, it’s exciting to have a winner each week and last year we had nearly $3,000 in prize money won for our sellers. Overall we have been very successful using this fundraiser for our school! Sincerely, Jennifer Sklarek

We are a returning Organization that has works with CharityMania on a few of their fundraiser’s. As a fundraising coordinator, CharityMania fundraisers are easy to run and the profit margin is high. The people behind the scenes are friendly and easy to work with.
       St. Mary’s Institute – Amsterdam, NY

25

The primary reason we have used this fundraiser for multiple years is the high percentage of the proceeds that remain with our organization. It is also a fun and easy fundraiser to sell.

We like the fact that the 70% return is one of the best in the fundraising industry. Means less fundraising. Keep it that way and we keep coming back year after year…..

This was NOT our first time using CharityMania and it will not be the last. The cards (football) are very easy to sell. We will be placing an order very soon for Football again.

We continue to use CharityMania, along with our other events, to help fundraise over $100,000 for ice cost for South Wood County Youth Hockey. This huge effort by our non-profit organization helps keep hockey affordable for all youth in our area. CharityMania at this point remains SWCYHA Board Challenge to help cover the costs of running our other big events. We would like to see it be a bigger part of what we do and we currently are looking more closely at the on-line option to sell tickets which we have not had the best of luck. While paper tickets sell well, gathering the sold tickets and activating them is a huge task if you have 100 people selling which is why we limit it to the Board at this time. We like it. We know the purpose of it: Sell the music but emphasize the sweepstakes! I think the buyers are looking for more music choice because of their options with I-Tunes which has changed the way our society purchases music these days. Thank you for helping us over the years! You will be hearing from us soon!

I’ve sold CharityMania tickets for our football team and it went over amazingly. We were allotted (6) tickets per player, I ended up selling (30). I thought why not try to let our baseball team benefit from the same success. It is still to be seen how many tickets the parents of our players sell, I have sold about (20-24) so far and am hoping to eclipse (40) myself.
       Morris PTT Youth Baseball – Morris, IL

25

We are a returning organization. We use to do the HoopsMania but switched to the FootballMania. The reason for our switch was because we have many different things going on when HoopsMania is in session. We will continue to use CharityMania because it is easy for our members to use and there are so many ways to win. Plus the staff and support system with CharityMania makes my job as fundraising monitor very easy.

Returning Customer: Our Parish School does use other fundraisers for Parent’s Club Money as well as field trips etc… The largest expenditures are incurred with our Athletics program and CM being sports related also offers the biggest opportunity to raise money. A portion of our athletic association proceeds are shared among the other school organizations to supplement their fundraising efforts. I would certainly recommend CM to any fundraiser (just not near us) 🙂

25

we have done it a couple of years now, because it’s easy to work on, and an easy way to make good money, which we use toward the projects we do for Kiwanis. and the members enjoy selling the tickets, occasionally we bring in new members because of this fund raiser. We haven’t switched to it in place of others, as we’re always looking for new fund raisers so we can let Kiwanis become familiar to people.

CharityMania has been a very good fundraiser for our Lions Club. Each year we count on the income from it to help meet our budget. This year we have more than doubled the number of tickets we hope to sell. We’re very familiar w/CharityMania which made it easy to select this venue one more time.

We wanted a fundraiser that was not using the church’s facility and did not require a lot of volunteers. Your 70/30 % pay off also was another reason we picked football mania.
       Knights of Columbus Saint Jude Council 6551 – Voorhees, NJ

25

I had used CharityMania when I was on the Board of Directors for my community basketball program and we really enjoyed the ease of this particular fundraiser, and how much money we were able to make. I am now on the Board for Project Graduation which needs fund to send our seniors out after graduation safely. They needed to make money and I brought the CharityMania fundraiser idea to them knowing I could work this fundraiser with ease. We did not sell as many tickets as I would have liked but I still believe it is an excellent way to fundraise.
       Washington Township HS PROJECT GRADUATION – Sewell, NJ

25

This was a fundraiser we had never heard of until we were approached to purchase a ticket. We like football and were interested to this for my daughter’s organization. I talked to the organizer of the ticket we purchased and she was very positive. I loved the website. You can also add that your website was very user-friendly. Data and information was easily found and could be used for tracking purposes.

Hello CharityMania Support, Yes we are returning, I believe this will be our 10th year. Yours is a simple fundraiser to run. Our participants do not need to know anything about football. I think it is fun to see how I do personally. I have yet to win, lol. Until we reach a point where no one wants to buy a ticket and you still have the program we will continue. Hope you have continued success.

There is no other fundraiser I know of where you get back 70% of the proceeds…we sold $900 of Joe Corbi’s pizza and made $75 bucks…then had to deliver it all. What a worthless fundraiser.

CharityMania worked well for us last year. We were happy with the results and it is a very low cost fundraiser.
       Chicago Metro Chapter of Credit Unions – Burnham, IL

25

We experienced what it did for other organizations financially and therefore believed it could do the same for us, since kids/parents do not appreciate a lot of fundraising. I figured that since we are a Football Organization Football-Mania would’ve been a hit. It did OK. The concept is great and the winnings but it’s still hard for parents/players to sell it to others. I think maybe someone from the organization should come and speak to the parents and players about the fundraiser and hype them up for a big sale. I still prefer it over selling cookie dough, cheesecakes and other stuff.
       Western Wildcats Football Booster Club – Sunrise, FL

25

We were very happy with everything about the fundraiser. It is so nice having the money that is won in the bank so fast and not having to worry about sending checks out to the winners. Everything just runs smoothly!

The online option with hands off electronic ticket distribution is a model that helps us decrease administrative overhead. We hope to better develop and market this fundraising option. With sooner implementation and communication for the upcoming year! Although, we would like the option to “decrease” the number of “required” paper tickets to get into events. Thank you CharityMania!-)

The Football Mania has been a good fundraiser for our parish and school. Wish we could get more families to purchase the tickets that are distributed to them.

This is our second time using Charitymania. First time we did the Super Bowl one and then the 10 week NFL fundraiser. Charitymania works great because with the rush of fantasy sports, and type of “gambling” that’s actually a fundraiser just works great. I think the excel spreadsheet you added to input the names of who donated was a good idea, but I don’t think it was set 100% to work in the ways that the organizations needed. I still had to create my own spreadsheet to keep track of everything.

Happy to reply to your questions regarding our FootballMania fund raising. When we first heard about CharityMania we were looking for a fundraiser that would give us a good return for our efforts and FootballMania has done that. We have another fundraiser that we run during our bowling season and between the two fundraisers we are please with the results. As you know there is stiff competition for people’s discretionary dollars and as an organization we are always looking for a fundraiser that is a good investment for both us and our buyers. We have ten board members who are the primary sellers of the 10 week $20.00 FootballMania tickets and the most frequent complaint is that the tickets are $20.00 and the majority of our winners are only $25.00. So some of our members feel that the dollar amount is not a very good return for the investment. Twenty dollars to win twenty-five dollars. And of course there are weeks we only have one winner at that amount. We sell 200 tickets so we are in the guaranteed winner class but again that is usually a $25.00 winner. We are going to continue selling the tickets for this upcoming football season but are really hoping to see a better return for our buyers. I would like to add that your customer service is very good. From the first tickets we decided to sell until recently I have been very pleased with the help I receive when I call your 1-800 number. The people are very nice and answer all my questions to my satisfaction. Thank you for asking for our feedback. -Sandy Klimek,Green Bay Women’s Bowling Association Director

Founder-picture-Neil-2022

Neil Quinn, PhD

Software Engineering

Neil has a broad background in computer science, education, and entrepreneurship. With his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from University of Southern California, Neil spent the first 30 years of his professional life working as an engineer, eventually founding his own business, Quad-Q Systems.

Specializing in computerized process control systems, Neil’s company created marine mammal life-support systems for Sea World and zoos; medical instrumentation control systems; and air conditioning, heating, and ventilation control systems, among others.

It came as a bit of a surprise to Neil’s friends and family when he decided to return to school and pursue a lifelong passion in the field of ethics and theology. He earned a graduate degree in theology (specializing in business ethics) from the University of Notre Dame and then accepted a job as a professor at Santa Clara University in Silicon Valley. While there, Neil taught graduate electrical engineering classes, business ethics classes, helped found the Santa Clara Center for Science, Technology and Society, and was a Presidential Fellow with the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics.

At about this same time, Neil began working with his son, Chris, on a fundraising idea he had to help out their local parish in San Diego. The fundraisers were so successful that Neil and Chris eventually decided to work on them full time… and CharityMania was born. Neil has served as the founder and managing partner of CharityMania since its inception over 25 years ago and is thrilled to be working full time with his son and daughter.

Neil has a BS in Physics from Loyola University, a PhD in Electrical Engineering from USC, and a Masters degree in Theology from Notre Dame University. In his spare time, Neil loves the outdoors and traveling. His latest adventures include walking the Camino de Santiago, and trips to Antarctica, the Galapagos Islands, and the Grand Canyon.

CharityMania company history

It all started about 25 years ago when Neil Quinn ran a fundraiser for his local parish and youth group at St. James Catholic Church in San Diego, CA. That fundraiser was essentially what we call FootballMania today. The fundraiser was unique, fun, and raised a lot of money for the parish. Parishioners were excited and sold the tickets to friends and family across southern California.

Some of the FootballMania tickets were sold to members of a Catholic parish located in the Los Angeles area. That parish loved the fundraiser and called St. James to ask how they too could run it. They were told, “You gotta talk to Neil Quinn.” Instead of trying to document and explain all that needed to be done to run FootballMania, Neil offered to donate his time to run it for the parish in Los Angeles as well. They sold thousands of tickets and it was a huge success.

Over the next few years a variety of churches and nonprofit organizations from across the country learned about FootballMania through word-of-mouth and contacted Neil to ask if they could use the fundraiser as well. Neil was completely surprised by the growing interest in his fundraiser, but was also extremely proud that he could help so many organizations raise money and do great things. He didn’t know if he had the time to help every organization that wanted to run FootballMania, but he also felt that he had an obligation to help them if he could. Neil started spending more and more of his time helping run the fundraisers for organizations across the US. He charged a small fee to cover his expenses and time and ran the operations completely out of his home as a small side business. CharityMania was born!

As the business continued to grow rapidly, it was clear Neil could no longer handle the workload by himself. So he brought on his son, Chris, and his daughter, Michele, to work part time. Fast forward to today and now Neil, Chris, Michele, and Michele’s husband, Jeff, are all full time partners at CharityMania and the business continues to grow from the word-of-mouth of happy customers.

We are truly blessed to work for the business we created and are extremely proud that we’ve helped so many great organizations raise so much money for such worthy causes. We pride ourselves on helping organizations do great things, and on providing exceptional personal customer service. We look forward to many more fundraising years in the future!

Music Downloads and Sweepstakes Game Cards… a winning combination!

To raise money, you sell CharityMania Tickets (prices between $5 and $25 per ticket) and keep 70% of the money you collect. The CharityMania Ticket (i.e. the stub at the top) contains an access code that allows the buyer to download a fantastic set of digital music from our CharityStudio site. Beneath this ticket, a promotional sweepstakes game card gives the recipient a chance to win $1000s in prize money!

Why sell music downloads? Why not just use the Sweepstakes Game Cards?

There is a legal difference between a sweepstakes and raffle. With a raffle, people pay money for a ticket that gives them a chance to win prizes. Only specific types of organizations can conduct a raffle and most states regulate how the raffles can operate. A sweepstakes is not a raffle. A sweepstakes is a promotion that provides extra incentive for people to buy a product that you are selling. The sweepstakes must have a ‘no purchase necessary’ method of entry. In a CharityMania fundraiser, the Sweepstakes Game Cards are promotion only and are not sold directly. Every time someone buys a CharityMania Ticket, they purchase over $5 to $25 worth of premium music downloads (depending on the price of the CharityMania ticket) from our CharityStudio. The Sweepstakes Game Card is a promotion that provides a great extra incentive for a person to support your cause.

Legally, our Sweepstakes Game Cards work much like the game pieces in the Monopoly sweepstakes® at McDonald’s®. You cannot buy a Monopoly game piece directly. Instead, you purchase things like hamburgers and drinks and receive the game pieces for free. The Monopoly game pieces are promotion.

No purchase necessary sweepstakes tst

All CharityMania sweepstakes are “no purchase necessary”. If someone wants a free Sweepstakes Game Card, they can come to your organization and fill out a request form (provided by CharityMania) to get a free Game Card. They mail their completed request to CharityMania along with a self-addressed stamped envelope and then we will mail the person a Game Card. We do not mail them the music download access code (because they are not paying). This process is very standard for all companies that conduct sweepstakes.

What does an example game card look like?

Participants can win $1000s in prizes based on the points scored by teams pre-printed on the back of their sweepstakes game cards. You do not pick any of the teams or need to predict who will win. There is no skill needed to win prizes.

With electronic tickets you can raise money from people that are located outside your geographic area with the personalized web page we create for your organization. There are no additional fees and your profit is the same as if you sell paper tickets. It is super simple!

Music Downloads and Sweepstakes Game Cards… a winning combination!

To raise money, you sell CharityMania Tickets (prices between $5 and $25 per ticket) and keep 70% of the money you collect. The CharityMania Ticket (i.e. the stub at the top) contains an access code that allows the buyer to download a fantastic set of digital music from our CharityStudio site. Beneath this ticket, a promotional sweepstakes game card gives the recipient a chance to win $1000s in prize money!

Why sell music downloads? Why not just use the Sweepstakes Game Cards?

There is a legal difference between a sweepstakes and raffle. With a raffle, people pay money for a ticket that gives them a chance to win prizes. Only specific types of organizations can conduct a raffle and most states regulate how the raffles can operate. A sweepstakes is not a raffle. A sweepstakes is a promotion that provides extra incentive for people to buy a product that you are selling. The sweepstakes must have a ‘no purchase necessary’ method of entry. In a CharityMania fundraiser, the Sweepstakes Game Cards are promotion only and are not sold directly. Every time someone buys a CharityMania Ticket, they purchase over $5 to $25 worth of premium music downloads (depending on the price of the CharityMania ticket) from our CharityStudio. The Sweepstakes Game Card is a promotion that provides a great extra incentive for a person to support your cause by using a non profit auction.

Legally, our Sweepstakes Game Cards work much like the game pieces in the Monopoly sweepstakes® at McDonald’s®. You cannot buy a Monopoly game piece directly. Instead, you purchase things like hamburgers and drinks and receive the game pieces for free. The Monopoly game pieces are promotion.

No purchase necessary sweepstakes

All CharityMania sweepstakes are “no purchase necessary”. If someone wants a free Sweepstakes Game Card, they can come to your organization and fill out a request form (provided by CharityMania) to get a free Game Card. They mail their completed request to CharityMania along with a self-addressed stamped envelope and then we will mail the person a Game Card. We do not mail them the music download access code (because they are not paying). This process is very standard for all companies that conduct sweepstakes.
