San Diego, CA — HungryFriend, the innovative app transforming everyday dining into powerful fundraising for youth sports and nonprofits, is proud to announce a landmark partnership with USA Softball, the national governing body of softball in the United States. Together, the two organizations will launch a nationwide initiative to unlock sustainable, year-round fundraising for teams, leagues, and communities across the country.
Through this partnership, USA Softball members, athletes, and supporters can now effortlessly raise money for their teams simply by dining at participating restaurants. With over 20,000 affiliated restaurant locations and a frictionless card-linking system, HungryFriend turns everyday spending into automatic donations — no codes, no coupons, no receipts.
“We believe fundraising should be seamless, recurring, and community-driven,” said Michael Smallwood, Founder & CEO of HungryFriend. “Partnering with USA Softball enables us to power fundraising at scale for thousands of teams across the country, without selling a single candy bar or running another car wash.”
The integration with USA Softball means every meal has the potential to fuel the future of the sport. Whether a family is grabbing a quick bite after practice or a team is celebrating a win, HungryFriend ensures that dollars spent locally come full circle to support their own programs.
Key benefits for USA Softball communities include:
● Effortless Fundraising: Link a card once; raise funds every time you dine. National Reach with Local Impact: From major metro areas to small towns, HungryFriend’s restaurant network supports communities coast to coast.
● Always On: No deadlines. No door knocking. Just passive, perpetual giving.
This partnership represents more than a technological integration — it’s a shared vision for the future of youth sports fundraising. Together, USA Softball and HungryFriend are rewriting the playbook.
