AS SEEN ON SHARK TANK

WE DID IT, THANKS TO YOU!

WE DID IT!

As seen on Shark Tank, thanks to all of you! 🦈

To every school, team, PTO, booster club, coach, parent group, nonprofit, and community fundraiser nationwide who trusted us to power your fundraising efforts: thank you. You believed in Fundraiser Blankets® first, and your support, feedback, and word-of-mouth built the foundation that made this moment possible.

This gave us the chance to share our purpose and the heart behind what we do, helping schools, teams, and communities raise funds in a way that brings people together through comfort and connection. What started as a simple idea has grown into something that touches lives, creates memories, and supports meaningful causes across our nation!

To our amazing community, thank you for being the reason we continue to grow and move forward. Your belief in our mission, your kind words, and your support have been our greatest blessing. We are so grateful for all that we have accomplished together and we are excited for what lies ahead. The best is yet to come!

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Moment on Shark Tank

Appearing on ABC’s Shark Tank (Season 17, Episode 3) was one of the most surreal milestones of our lives.
It was a chance to share what Fundraiser Blankets® is really about: helping schools and groups raise more money with something families genuinely love. A custom keepsake that builds spirit and lasts for years.

What Happened in the Episode

We don’t want to spoil it, you should watch it!

But, here’s the summary: we stepped into the Tank seeking $300,000 for 10% equity. After offers and negotiations, we accepted a joint deal with Lori Greiner and Barbara Corcoran!

Getting to share our story and stand beside two absolute shark powerhouses, Barbara Corcoran and Lori Greiner, was a moment of pure empowerment.

These women broke barriers, built the blueprint and have shown generations of founders what’s possible through grit, grace, and unstoppable belief in their ideas.

As women founders, teachers, and veterans, we’ve admired them for years for their courage, brilliance, and trailblazing spirit in business.

This moment reminded us why we started, to prove that passion, purpose, and perseverance can move mountains.

Here’s to strong women building stronger futures for the next generation!


The conversation highlighted what makes this business different: a practical, high-need fundraising space; a product people actually want; strong growth; founders that are literally in the shoes of their customers; and a mission rooted in public service and community impact.

Our Story Before the Tank

What started as two resourceful moms searching for better fundraising options grew into a nationwide movement.

After immigrating from Poland, we grew up a couple blocks north of 8 Mile. This award-winning teacher and combat veteran duo are proud INC5000 and Vet100 female honorees. We built Fundraiser Blankets®, our nation’s #1 choice for custom fundraising throws, to help schools and organizations fundraise with purpose and put more profit back into the hands of the groups doing the work for kids and communities.
Over the years, our blankets have helped promote school spirit, build team pride, spark generosity, and create connection where it’s needed most.

Our Goals for the Future

Shark Tank was a milestone, not the finish line. We’re growing fast, and we’re building the next chapter with the same focus that got us here: better fundraising outcomes for the groups who count on us.

Here’s what we’re working toward:

  • Supporting more schools, teams, and nonprofits nationwide
  • Expanding new product offerings beyond blankets, with more spirit-driven options groups will actually be excited to sell
  • Rolling out new packs and fundraising formats to fit more needs, seasons, and budgets
  • Optimizing our process from start to finish so groups can launch faster, reorder easier, and fundraise with less friction
  • Improving design workflows and approvals so volunteers spend less time coordinating and more time promoting
  • Strengthening operations and fulfillment to keep quality high as volume grows
  • Investing in tools, education, and resources that help fundraising leaders succeed
  • Scaling responsibly while staying hands-on and continuing to earn trust
  • Connecting more deeply with other fellow volunteer moms through some cool ideas coming soon!!!

"Easiest fundraiser EVER!!"... "From the design phase to the free social media materials, it was so easy and quick. In fact, the designs were all so great that it was hard to pick just one. After our first 150 blankets, people who missed out on ordering are begging for more. So I placed another order today. You CANNOT go wrong with these blankets! They pretty much sell themselves! And the profit margin is AMAZING!!!"
