Great Valley Football Raises the Gold Bar Again with Gold Athletics

Another season, another win for Great Valley Football—both on and off the field. Partnering once again with Gold Athletics, the Patriots stormed through their fundraising season, raising an impressive $35,150 for their program. That’s nearly a $14,000 jump from last year’s total of $21,600—proof that when this team gets rolling, they don’t just meet goals, they redefine them.

The Gold Card Challenge 

This year, the team ran a Gold Card fundraiser—a two-week fundraiser that got the entire community involved. Led by Gold Athletics fundraising rep Brian Ludwig, the campaign tapped into local pride and fan support, turning everyday savings into major program impact.

Why the Gold Card? Simple—it’s a proven powerhouse. The cards offer local discounts that supporters love, while teams keep a high percentage of each sale. Great Valley’s players sold Gold Cards to 1,007 supporters, rallying their fans and friends around a shared goal: keeping Great Valley Football strong.

Driving Success with the Gold Athletics App

The Gold Athletics App was a game-changer once again, helping the Patriots streamline communication, track sales, and celebrate milestones in real time. Players used the app to share links with family, post updates on social media, and keep the momentum rolling from the first whistle to the final day.

The app’s live leaderboard kept the competition fierce—top sellers hustled to climb the ranks, while coaches and reps could instantly see progress and motivate the team. The seamless, mobile-first approach, with physical Gold Cards still available, made fundraising fast, fun, and remarkably efficient. The team raised $21,375 just from the app, sending a total of 3,046 emails to supporters.
