The donations School Spirit Pays’ makes to education funds are a tribute to two special high school educators known for their generosity. Like thousands of teachers across the country, Jim and Mary Trentini are remembered for their giving spirit. The Trentini’s knew that sometimes a little support given at the right time and place could make a world of difference for a young person. So, we built School Spirit Pays in their memory, to extend their legacy of generosity as far and wide as we could.

Jim and Mary were aboard American Flight 11 on September 11, 2001. The lives lost on that fateful day shocked the world. Families and the nation dealt with grief in many ways. In time and after much consideration, the Trentini’s family chose to create a lasting tribute to their parents’ commitment to education and generosity. School Spirit Pays was born.

School Spirit Pays creates passive, sustainable, meaningful fundraising by connecting local schools and local businesses at absolutely no risk or cost. We process credit cards and part of each transaction is donated to a local school. Which schools? Our businesses pick the schools they want to support. School Spirit Pays matches your processing rates. Sure, that makes it risk free and even creates a potential savings for the business but that‘s not the reason businesses choose School Spirit Pays.

Generosity is the reason businesses choose School Spirit Pays. People relate to their memories of teachers who were generous with their time and efforts. People believe in giving and supporting their local schools. People want to set an example of generosity, like Jim and Mary Trentini did. The Trentini’s influenced and inspired with their caring spirit and choices. We can do the same.
