The $25 Revolution That Could Change the Game for Schools, Sports, and Society
Every weekend, millions of Americans fire up their favorite daily fantasy sports app. They scroll through player stats, build lineups, chase big payouts—and move on. It’s entertainment, sure. But what if that same energy could fuel something far more powerful?
What if everyone playing DFS made just one $25 pick a week—and a portion of every entry went straight back to the communities that need it most?
Let’s run the numbers.
The $25 Fantasy Shift
There are more than 60 million fantasy sports players in North America. Even if just 10% of them—6 million people—made one $25 pick per week, that’s $150 million every single week.
Now imagine half the net losses and half the winnings from those picks went toward public good:
- Boosting school sports budgets
- Funding youth mental health programs
- Keeping arts and music alive in underfunded districts
- Covering cleats, gear, travel, and scholarships for kids priced out of opportunity
$75 million a week could pour into communities—without a single bake sale, car wash, or donation drive.
That’s nearly $4 billion a year in passive fundraising. All from the activities people are already engaged in.
No New Habits. Just a New Purpose.
We’re not asking players to donate. We’re not asking them to stop gaming.
We’re asking them to aim their picks with purpose.
Fantasy sports players already understand risk, reward, and competition. Predict5 simply gives them a way to win for themselves and for something bigger.
The best part? Every pick, even a missed one, can generate tax-deductible donations. It’s the only fantasy format that guarantees someone else wins—your school, your team, your nonprofit.
A Game Changer for Fundraising
Booster clubs fight tooth and nail for $5K. Now they could earn $50K in a season, simply by signing up, promoting, and playing.
Imagine if every Friday night football game had parents making picks to fund next season. Or every March Madness bracket came with a community bonus round.
We don’t need more giving—we need smarter games.
We need tools that turn play into purpose.
A Pick for More Than Points
One pick a week. That’s it.
You’re already watching. Already playing. Already spending.
So why not raise while you’re at it?
The fantasy sports boom doesn’t have to be a gold rush for platforms and sportsbooks alone.
It can be a people-powered engine for change—one $25 pick at a time.
