Calling All Arizona High School Football Teams!
Step up and compete in Friday Night Fundraisers, the new challenge from 12News Friday Night Fever and St. Vincent de Paul. From now until Turkey Tuesday (the Tuesday before Thanksgiving), your team can join the Friday Night Fundraising Challenge. Compete against rival schools, rally your community, and show that the biggest wins don’t just happen on the field.
The winning school will be featured on Friday Night Fever with Cam Cox and earn a $1,000 equipment sponsorship from Bashas’.
Sign up your team today, rally your community, and lock in your spot on the scoreboard
Kick off your fundraiser
Click here to create your team page. Name it after your school so supporters can find you, then upload a high-resolution photo (1248×702 px or larger)—mascot, colors, or a spirited team shot. Add a short description (up to 280 characters) explaining why this matters and a rally cry to fire up donors.
Set your team’s goal (how many turkeys can you provide?)—aim high! Finish by verifying your email and name to launch your fundraiser and start competing.

Invite and Organize Your Team (optional, but powerful)
From your dashboard, you can invite teammates like coaches, captains, or parents. They’ll join your team page and get a personal share link. Donations through their link count toward both their total and the team’s overall goal.
It’s optional — you can just share the main team link — but inviting teammates spreads the work, builds buy-in, and adds a layer of friendly competition.
Share Your Playbook
Log in to grab your share link and QR code. Post it on social, email it, text it, or drop the QR on game signage, programs, and posters in the gym.
The key: repetition. Just like practice, you can’t win with one play. Share links and QR codes each week and ramp up the energy as Turkey Tuesday approaches—the final quarter is when most donations come in.
Track your progress
Login to monitor your team’s progress. Check out who’s donated, your total raised, and individual contributions from teammates. Then head to the All Fundraisers scoreboard (launching soon) to see how you stack up against rival schools. This is your standings board, so keep an eye on it and rally your team when you start to slip behind.
Finish Strong on Turkey Tuesday
As Turkey Tuesday approaches, push hard for the win. Remind everyone that $15 = 1 turkey. Share the countdown. Have teammates push their social media. Call on parents, alumni, and fans.
Remind everyone that the winning team will be crowned on Friday Night Fever with Cam Cox — along with a $1,000 equipment sponsorship from Bashas’!
