Why Skate-A-Thon's Work

Combine fitness, community, and fundraising in a way that motivates everyone involved.

Skaters stay engaged by seeing their laps tracked in real time, while sponsors enjoy supporting a clear, measurable effort.

The pledge‑per‑lap model makes donations simple and transparent, encouraging higher participation and repeat giving.

With tools like RFID lap tracking and instant reporting, organizations can raise significant funds while running a smooth, hassle‑free event.

Hassle-Free Fundraising

By using the Orbiter Timing System, you can run professional, hassle-free skate-a-thons with:

RSID chip technology that tracks every lap automatically and logs it into a spreadsheet—no more clipboards or “honor system” tracking.
Built-in cost tracking and reporting tools to keep fundraising transparent and simple.
Players find their own sponsors, who pledge $0.35, $0.50, or $1.00 per lap, making it easy to raise big money.
50% of funds going to the team and 50% directly to the player.

The ROI is Huge!

Suppose you have 20 players and each skates 100 laps, and their sponsors pledge an average of $0.50 per lap:

20 players × 100 laps × $0.50 = $1,000 per player
50% goes to the player: $500 each
50% goes to the team: $10,000 total
Recover the system cost with your first event—everything after that is profit.
Use Orbiter for all your teams throughout the season—no additional cost per event.

That’s one event. Imagine the potential when you run this for every team in your organization!
