START A FUNDRAISER

Every birthday, milestone, and reason is a chance to change a life.

When you start a fundraiser for Archway Academy, you’re not just raising money — you’re bringing your community into a mission that changes lives. Every dollar helps a teen in recovery stay in school, get well, and build a future.

Peer-to-Peer Giving

Turn your network into a lifeline for teens in recovery.

A personal fundraiser is one of the most powerful ways to support Archway Academy — because it doesn't just raise money, it raises awareness. When you share your story, you bring new people into our mission who would never have found us otherwise.

Birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, sobriety milestones, or just because — any occasion can become an opportunity to change a life.

Your fundraiser can help fund:

  • Scholarships for students who can't afford tuition
  • Daily recovery support and clinical services
  • Mental health counseling and therapeutic programs
  • Educational resources and classroom materials
  • Enrichment activities — Sober Prom, graduation, field trips

Getting Started

Five steps to launch your fundraiser.

It takes less than 10 minutes to set up and you'll have everything you need to share with your network right away.

1

Choose your occasion

Birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, sobriety milestones, a holiday — or simply because you believe in this mission. Any moment can become a fundraiser.

2

Set a goal

Every amount makes a difference. Common goals are $250, $500, or $1,000 — but there's no wrong number. The goal just gives your supporters something to rally around.

3

Create your fundraising page

Click "Start Your Fundraiser" to set up your page on Givebutter. Add a photo, write a short note about why this cause matters to you, and you're ready to go.

4

Share it with your network

Post to social media, send a text, or email your friends and family. Personal outreach consistently outperforms mass posts — a short message to 10 people goes further than one post to 500.

5

Celebrate your impact

Watch your fundraiser grow in real time. Every donation goes directly to Archway's students and programs. We'll send you updates on the difference your campaign made.
