Hillsdale High School Football Breaks Fundraising Records with Blast Athletics
San Mateo, CA – Hillsdale Knights Football | $45,207 Raised | 491 Donations
The Hillsdale Knights Football Team just wrapped up their most successful fundraiser ever—and they did it with Blast Athletics.
With 99 athletes and a 160-person program including parents, coaches, and administrators, the team came together to raise over $45,000 through online donations and digital ad sales. Their goal was to fund important program needs like new training equipment, updated jerseys, and video review tech—and thanks to the power of community and the simplicity of Blast, they surpassed expectations.
“The Best Fundraiser We’ve Ever Run”
Coach Mike Parodi shared:
We are really excited with how Blast fundraising helped us evolve as a program. Their program is easy to use, athlete-friendly, and family-friendly. Looking forward to a successful 2025 campaign with them again!
From start to finish, the process was simple. Athletes joined the platform, invited supporters, and Blast handled the rest—secure donations, digital ad sales, and weekly email updates to keep donors in the loop.
Built-In Community, Powered by Updates
Blast isn’t just about raising money. It’s about building connections between athletes and their supporters. Every donor received weekly updates throughout the season—including scores, videos, and photos—so they could feel like they were part of the team.
A donor’s message says it all:
“Hi Sean, I’m happy to support your Football Team Fundraiser. Enjoyed seeing you play this year.”

Where the Funds Go
Before launching their campaign, Hillsdale had big plans:
New practice sleds, travel bags, JV jerseys, and technology to improve film review. With their outstanding results, they’re now in a position to bring many of those upgrades to life—equipping their athletes and coaches for a stronger future.
