Athon Shop
The event-gear catalog for a-thon fundraisers. No storefront is open at this address today -- browse the catalog, then email us.
Ask about your eventWhere this page stands today
No storefront is provisioned for this address today: nothing on this page can be ordered, and no payment runs here. Money is honest-off across the platform until Chris turns it on. Catalog figures, sizing guidance, and quantity tiers below are planning information, not prices or lead times you can rely on -- and never a number this page can currently back with a live order system.
The catalog
Six categories, each shown with its planning basis -- what varies by roster, not a price, not a lead time.
Participant shirts
Event-day shirts sized and printed per roster count -- planning figures only, no order placed from this page today.
- Sized by roster COUNT PER SIZE BAND (youth S-XL, adult S-3XL), never by a per-student name list.
- Decoration method: screen print for single-color event runs, or full-color digital transfer for multi-color designs -- both display-only options here.
- Design slot for the event name, year, and theme art -- no minor's name, photo, or likeness on the garment.
Finisher medals
A medal per lap, mile, or lap-of-reading recorded on the pledge side -- a display catalog line, not a live order.
- Quantity basis is EXPECTED PARTICIPANT COUNT for the event, not a per-lap or per-mile unit count (that ledger lives on athon.software, a separate system).
- Ribbon color and medal finish are theme-matched to the a-thon type (walk/read/jog/etc.), the same theme vocabulary athon-themes.ts already defines.
- No engraving of an individual participant's name is offered from this catalog line.
Team spirit gear
Water bottles, wristbands, and banners for the event day -- catalog reference only; nothing ships from this page today.
- Sized to CLASS or TEAM groupings for a class-vs-class event format, never to an individual roster row.
- Banner and wristband art carries the school/event name and theme colors -- group-level branding only.
- Distribution planning is a group headcount exercise (how many per classroom, per grade), not a per-student assignment.
Prize-tier items
Incentive items matched to the pledge tiers set on athon.software -- shown for planning, not for checkout, today.
- Tier THRESHOLDS (e.g. a top-fundraising tier, a mid tier, a participation tier) are set on athon.software; this catalog only shows what item WOULD map to each tier band, group-level.
- No automatic hand-off exists between the two sites today -- a school would carry tier results over manually, the same way any two separate systems are reconciled.
- Prize items are described generically (an item class, e.g. "desk accessory," "outdoor gear"), never a specific branded product from a named vendor.
Personalization add-ons
Optional add-on decoration -- grade-level color coding, class-team names, staff/volunteer-labeled items -- shown as catalog options, not an active order form.
- Grade-level or homeroom color coding is applied at the GROUP level (e.g. "3rd grade = green"), never to an individually named student.
- Staff and volunteer items may carry a role label ("Event Volunteer," "Timing Crew") -- adults who have agreed to be identified in that role, not participants.
- No add-on option on this page collects or displays a minor's name, initials, or photo.
Packing & distribution kits
Pre-sorted bundles (by classroom or team) for event-day handout -- a planning concept shown here, not a live packing service.
- Sort key is CLASSROOM or TEAM, matching the same grouping spirit gear and medals use -- one consistent sorting unit across the catalog.
- Bundle counts are planning estimates keyed to roster COUNT PER GROUP, never an individual manifest generated from this page.
- Described as a packing CONCEPT for the planning conversation, not a service this page performs or schedules today.
How this catalog is organized
The organizing principles behind every card above -- not a promise of what a future order pipeline will do, just how the information on this page is grouped today.
Roster count, never a roster list
Every catalog line sizes off a COUNT PER GROUP -- how many size-medium shirts, how many finisher medals, how many classroom bundles. No line on this page reads or stores an individual student's name.
Group-level quantity tiers
The catalog describes tier BANDS (a small event, a mid-size event, a large multi-grade event) rather than a single number, because the right quantity for any school depends on roster size and event format -- both set on athon.software or athon.club, not here.
Event-date cross-reference, not a data hand-off
Gear planning naturally lines up with the event date set on athon.software's pledge campaign. This page does not read that date automatically and no data flows between the two sites today -- a school carries the date over by hand, the same way any two separate systems are reconciled.
One sort key across the whole catalog
Shirts, spirit gear, and packing kits all key off the same grouping unit -- classroom or team -- so a school planning one category can reuse the same counts for the others without re-deriving them.
The athon.* cluster, one job each
Six owned properties, six distinct jobs. This page never re-pitches the other five, and shares no card heading or FAQ answer with any of them.
| Property | Role | What it does |
|---|
| athon.software | Pledge engine | Runs the pledge itself -- promise-then-collect, exact amount, resolved after the event. |
| athon.network | Standards & matching | A vetting standard and vendor-matching register -- not a software product. |
| athon.club | Organizer clubhouse | Free planning and community home for the volunteer running the event for a member organization. |
| athon.management | Event-day clipboard | Staff-facing lap/unit counting and station assignment on the day itself. |
| tv.athon.software | Gym-wall projector | Live class-vs-class leaderboard and goal thermometer for a gym TV or assembly. |
| athon.shop | Event-gear catalog (this page) | The only member of the cluster about a physical object -- shirts, medals, spirit gear, prize items. |
What this page never collects
Minors' data is consent-gated and never public across this platform, and this catalog page is built inside that rule, not around it. Nothing on this page has a form field for a student's name, a student's photo, or a per-student roster row. Every quantity on every card above is a GROUP count -- a size band, a classroom, a team -- and stays that way even once a storefront exists. Adults who volunteer for an event-day role (timing crew, event volunteer) may be labeled by that role on an item; participants are never labeled individually.
Questions
Can I order gear from athon.shop today?
No storefront is provisioned at this host today: nothing on this page can be ordered or charged.
Does this page take payment?
No. Money is honest-off across the platform: no checkout runs and no card is charged from athon.shop today.
How does this relate to athon.software?
athon.software runs the pledge (promise-then-collect, exact amount before any charge). This page is the physical-gear catalog a school would browse for the same event -- a separate, sibling surface. The two sites do not share data automatically; a school reconciles pledge tiers to gear choices by hand today, the same way any two separate systems are reconciled.
Is any of this gear tied to a specific student?
No. Catalog copy stays at the group level -- participants and totals, never an individual name or photo. Sizing, medal quantities, and personalization all key off group counts (roster count per size band, per classroom, per team), not a per-student record.
How do I ask about this for my school?
Email [email protected] -- a person reads it and replies. Nothing is automated on this page.
What does planning figures only mean on the catalog cards?
Every quantity, sizing, and tier description on this page is qualitative planning information for a conversation -- not a quote, not a price, and not a committed lead time. Nothing here is a number this page can currently back with a live order system.
Is there a minimum order or a bulk discount?
Not stated on this page. No pricing, minimum-order, or discount figure is published here today; that conversation happens by email once a storefront exists.
How is athon.shop different from athon.club or athon.management?
athon.club is the volunteer/organizer clubhouse for planning an event; athon.management is the staff-facing clipboard used to run event day (lap counting, station assignments). Neither sells a physical object. athon.shop is the only member of the athon.* cluster whose subject is a thing a school can hold -- shirts, medals, gear -- not a pledge, a standard, a clubhouse, or a clipboard.
Does ordering here require handing over student names or photos?
No catalog line on this page asks for, stores, or displays an individual student's name, photo, or likeness. Every sizing and personalization option is described at the group level by design.
