A Legacy of Leadership and Loyalty in Derry
For nearly three decades, Pinkerton Academy has been a fundraising powerhouse—and this fall was no exception. With a total of $98,733 raised across eight athletic programs, Pinkerton continues to set the standard for school-wide fundraising in New Hampshire and beyond.
Backed by Gold Athletics and driven by a deep-rooted culture of teamwork, trust, and tradition, Pinkerton once again proved why they’re considered one of the most consistent and successful athletic-wide fundraisers in the country.
ATHLETIC-WIDE IMPACT: 8 Programs, 1 Unified Goal
Every fall, Pinkerton rallies its entire athletic department to support program needs, and this year, eight different teams joined forces under the Gold Athletics banner to deliver a record-breaking effort.
From large rosters to small squads, each team had the autonomy to choose the fundraising model that worked best for them. Whether it was Gold Cards, Gold Rush digital donations, cookie dough, or a mix of all three, Gold Athletics tailored solutions to each team’s unique needs—accommodating coaches with flexibility, strategy, and unwavering support.
The result? A campaign that didn’t just meet expectations—it redefined them.
BUILT ON RELATIONSHIPS: TRUST IN BLAISE & JEFF
The secret behind Pinkerton’s 28-year streak of success? Trust.
Coaches at Pinkerton know they’re not just signing up for another fundraiser—they’re joining forces with a team they can count on. With Blaise and Jeff from Gold Athletics leading the charge year after year, the school has built a relationship rooted in reliability, responsiveness, and real results.
Whether it’s guiding new coaches through the process or fine-tuning strategies for returning programs, Blaise and Jeff have earned the respect and loyalty of the Pinkerton coaching staff. It’s not just about money—it’s about partnership.
PRIZES & RECOGNITION: CELEBRATING THE HUSTLE
Fundraising at Pinkerton isn’t just about numbers—it’s about motivation. Across all eight programs, athletes were driven by a prize lineup designed to fuel excitement, recognize effort, and reward results.
Top performers took home premium gear from leading athletic brands like Nike and X-Grain, turning hard work into fresh team swag. Jackets, headphones, and gift cards were just a few of the prizes that made participation feel like game day.
More than just rewards, these prizes created a culture of celebration, uniting teams around shared goals and giving every athlete a reason to give their all.
POWERED BY TECH: THE GOLD ATHLETICS APP
The entire fundraising campaign ran seamlessly thanks to the Gold Athletics App—a game-changing tool that makes it easy for athletes and coaches alike.
With mobile contact uploading, donation sharing, and real-time leaderboards, the app transformed the process into a fun, competitive experience. Players could track their impact, challenge teammates, and reach supporters with just a few taps—all while staying focused on the season ahead.
Whether running digital donations, selling Gold Cards, or managing a product fundraiser, the app made every campaign smarter, faster, and more profitable.
Setting the Gold Standard—Again
From top to bottom, Pinkerton Academy’s fall fundraising season was a clinic in consistency, collaboration, and competitive spirit. With over $98,000 raised across eight programs, they continue to lead by example—proving that long-term success is built on trusted partnerships, team-wide effort, and the right tools.
