We just did the fundraiser for the first time and it was the best fundraiser we ever had. We used Boosterthon also before and this new program beats them out hands down. We experienced no classroom interruption time and the course was big and magnificent to our kids rather than running circles around simple cones. Do use them if you can get a spot - we booked again quickly to keep from losing our date for next year. I hope this helps.
We try to keep this forum open and encourage differing points of view. While a few folks did make negative remarks about this particular fundraiser on this thread, the comments were not what we would consider over the top. You will note as well that the thread, overall, has a balance of different comments and points of view.
We would be happy to hear more from you about your experiences as a PTO leader. However, your most recent post doesn't help advance the conversation, nor does it provide constructive information that will benefit our community. Please keep your posts constructive.
Thanks for your cooperation on this and I would be happy to discuss it further with you if necessary.

We used the Ultimate Fitness Challenge fundraiser for the second time in Houston, TX last week and it went absolutely perfect. No insurance problems, no late issues and totally turnkey without any cost to our school. The All-Star team was very prompt and our kids and parents absolutely loved them. Wow - who cares if the owner is not a Navy seal - your comments seam very petty especially on an open internet forum like this. I think that it is very inappropriate to tear down such a wonderful program designed to help our kids. You sound like an angry competitor of All-Star or just a negative person. Why don't you leave your personal information on open forum so that I can call you direct and tell you how petty you sound. Our school loved it and we are already registered again for next year. Get a life!
Our school in Ponte Vedra, FL just completed the Ultimate Fitness Challenge Fundraiser for the 2nd year in a row and had no problems and the second year was better than the 1st. They provided all of the items we needed at no cost and also provided us with 2 million in liability insurance covering our school and school district that we verified. I recommend this team to anyone wanting an active fundraiser for their school. They are very legit and great to work with!
i am sorry that happen to your school. could i contact your school to find out more? what school was it? these people have me really concerned. A mom in our PTA found out that the owner of the business was never a Navy Seal even though he has claimed to be on multiple occasions to us. Very weird.

Our school used them and had issues. The equipment was not tied down properly and no mats were provided for soft landings. We had one child break his arm because the equipment rolled on him and there were no mats for him to land on only hard ground. Then the PTA finds out that they had no insurance covering our event. Be wary.
