Messaging: Unlimited Text, Email & App

Blast Messaging not only makes communication simple, but also enables teams to limit the amount of times phones buzz. Group texts can be annoying, so Blast has an effective messaging solution that will limit the volume but always get your messages out.

• Message the entire team, custom groups or individuals
• Attach forms, files and pictures
• Disable replies
• Create polls
• Require confirmations
• Forward messages from Team Members

• Message admins only
• Leave a conversation, but receive the next message
• Reply to messages (when enabled by sender)
• Confirm receipt

Messaging: Safe Text Messaging (HS)

Many states have banned high school coaches from texting students with their personal phone numbers. Blast Messaging uses Blast’s phone numbers and every message is stored at the school level, even if deleted by the sender. Stay compliant with your states legislature by using Blast’s robust messaging feature.

Protect your students, protect your school, protect your coaches.

Fundraising & Collecting Dues: Together

By combining fundraising and payment processing together on Blast, teams can provide financial flexibility to their parents. Here’s how it works: request your dues or fair share on Blast. Parents have the option to pay the invoice, or fundraise on Blast to lower their costs, then pay the balance. Each team member is tracked individually and the money goes to the program, so teams can now offer parents financial flexibility with very little extra effort. The fundraiser is open all year, so if money is tight down the road, parents can enter contacts and raise money when they need it.

Fundraising: All Online = COVID Safe

Fundraising is going to change drastically due to Covid. Blast is the perfect solution for fundraising during these times. Not only does is Blast’s fundraiser all online, meaning no putting your team at risk, but it also sends updates to supporters who cannot attend the games. Grandparents are the most vulnerable to COVID-19, so going to games will be dangerous. Blast makes it easy to share coverage with every grandparent that donates, keeping them involved while locked down.
