Director Software Engineering

Our client is an emerging franchisor that is growing rapidly with 100 units, 54 franchisees in 33 states. Their method is to collaborate with school PTO/A's and faculty to build student leaders through a meaningful, "hassle-free" and financially successful school Fun Run. Franchise owners employ former Pro and college athletes to teach the students about leadership and fitness for 2 weeks and then host a Fun Run. The Fun Runs have averaged 6x the amount netted in traditional school fundraising so schools giving communities the necessary resources to support their children.

Our client combines four important skillsets for students - education, fitness, leadership, and raising money for their school - in their unique school Fun Runs. To date, over 4 million students have been served and more than $120 million netted for 5,000 schools.

They believe:

Every child can change their school, and the world, in a profound way

Serving others brings the greatest joy and contributes to the greatest good

Learning by doing and exercise are both undervalued and underutilized in fundraising today

Encouragement and enthusiasm build others up which will help build leaders

Raising money for your child's school can also serve as a positive learning experience

Many people giving a little reduces the individual burden on the typical givers and donors
