By texting JOIN, you agree to receive promotional fundraising messages from TeamPledge for one specific fundraiser, including a kickoff message and reminder messages while the fundraiser is open. Message frequency: approximately 3–4 fundraising messages per campaign. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to cancel, HELP for help, or email help@teampledge.app.

How do end-users consent to receive messages?

End-users consent to receive promotional fundraising text messages from TeamPledge by one of four separate, optional methods. Consent is never pre-selected, never bundled with account creation or checkout, and applies only to the specific campaign the user opted into. Users may reply STOP to cancel or HELP for assistance. Message and data rates may apply.

  1. Web form: The user visits https://teampledge.app/sms-opt-in, selects “I want optional fundraising texts,” enters their mobile number, checks the unchecked consent box, and submits the form.
  2. Mobile QR code or sign-up link: The user scans a campaign-specific QR code or taps a sign-up link shared by the organizer. The code/link opens this same web form on the user’s phone. The user then selects “I want optional fundraising texts,” enters their mobile number, checks the unchecked consent box, and submits.
  3. Verbal consent: An organizer or staff member reads the verbal consent script to the contact in person or by phone. The contact explicitly says “yes” or “I agree.” The staff member records the consent, phone number, and date in the campaign contact record before any messages are sent.
  4. Text keyword: The user texts JOIN (or START / YES) to +1 (615) 212-2637 from their mobile phone. A confirmation reply is sent confirming the opt-in and reminding them they can reply STOP to cancel or HELP for help.

Who sends these messages

Messages are sent by TeamPledge (teampledge.app) on behalf of the youth sports team, school, or nonprofit running the fundraiser. Recipients are the friends and family contacts that a participating player or their parent added to the fundraiser after confirming consent, or who opted in themselves on this page. This page authorizes only promotional messages asking the recipient to support that specific fundraiser and reminders while it is open. Numbers are never sold or shared.

Messaging program summary

Brand / sender: TeamPledge. Website: teampledge.app. Use case: Mixed. TeamPledge sends two distinct message categories with separate consent. Promotional fundraising messages go only to friends and family who expressly opt in here or by texting JOIN; they include a kickoff and up to three reminders (about 3–4 messages per campaign). Informational transaction updates go only to donors and pledgers who separately request them during checkout. Agreeing to one category does not enroll a person in the other.

Separate informational consent

Donors and pledgers may separately request informational texts about their own transaction during checkout, such as a pledge calculation, payment status, receipt, or final result. That checkout control is unchecked by default and does not authorize promotional fundraising messages. This public form does not collect informational-message consent.

Sample promotional fundraising messages

  • “TeamPledge: Hi Pat, this is Avery. I’m fundraising for my team this season. Please consider supporting me: https://teampledge.app/c/104829173 Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help.”
  • “TeamPledge: Hi Pat, this is Avery. Our team fundraiser is open now. Will you help me reach my goal? https://teampledge.app/c/104829173 Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help.”
  • “TeamPledge: Hi Pat, this is Avery. There are two days left in my team fundraiser. Every pledge helps! https://teampledge.app/c/104829173 Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help.”

Message frequency: approximately 3–4 messages per campaign. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to cancel, HELP for help, or email help@teampledge.app.

Sample informational transaction message

“TeamPledge: Your pledge for Avery is now $24 based on the recorded event result. View your pledge details: https://teampledge.app/receipt/example Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help.”

Sent only to a donor or pledger who separately requested transaction updates at checkout. This is not a promotional fundraising message.

SMS is optional

You may decline promotional text messages and still create an account, join a fundraiser, share a page, donate, pledge, and receive service by email. No SMS checkbox is part of TeamPledge Terms of Service, account creation, checkout, or any required workflow.

Current SMS status: Not enrolled.
