A-Thons are well known, popular events that typically involve friends, family and the public by sponsoring participants. Sponsorship is based on how long the participant can perform an activity or reach a specific goal or score. Popular a-thons include walks and runs for cancer, book a-thons and dance a-thons. These events can involve people of all ages and are often annual signature events for charities.

Participation in these events starts months before the day of the event. Participants usually receive a fundraising package which includes pledge sheets, waiver forms and marketing materials such as posters. Some a-thons have registration fees while others have a minimum level for fundraising. Participants are encouraged to ask family and friends to sponsor them in the event. Managing pledge forms and keeping track of the participants can be a daunting task. Ensuring online and offline pledges are tallied together has its own unique challenges.
