How One $40 Fee Changed Everything

Set it up in minutes, never chase cash again

‍

As a director, I used to lose way too much rehearsal time collecting money for pizza lunches, t-shirts, snacks, and tickets. And even after all that chasing, some kids were still left out when the food and shirts arrived.

‍

That’s when I switched to an all-inclusive fee using Ludus Collections. In just minutes, I set up a $40 bundle that included a show t-shirt, two pizza meals, and two performance tickets. Families could pay online or sponsor a student with one click.

‍

The result? Every student wore a shirt on opening night. Everyone sat down to pizza together at Saturday rehearsals. And every child had two people cheering in the audience. Extra donations rolled forward, which meant future students were already covered.

‍

Participation went up. Families told us they felt a real sense of belonging. And I got my rehearsal time back.

‍

It took me 5 minutes to set up in Ludus Collections and we haven’t had to touch cash since. This one change saved us hours, raised extra funds, and, most importantly, made every student feel like they belonged.
