Boosterthon offers fun, healthy events for schools across the United States that want an alternative to the traditional school fundraiser. Boosterthon began in 2001 and has served more than 400,000 students at over 600 American schools in 2011-2012. Started by Chris and Lyndie Carneal, Boosterthon was founded in Birmingham, Alabama, on the values of leadership, integrity, enthusiasm, and results. More than 10 years later, Boosterthon still maintains these values.
