Keep the kids on the map.
The Squeeze is free for every kid in Oklahoma, and we never take a cut of their tips. Sponsors pay for the platform — and for the prizes: a juicer for every County Cup champion, a custom-built stand for the Best Stand in Oklahoma, the merch we hand out along the way. Pick a level, pay monthly on Ko-fi, cancel whenever.

Special thanks to every sponsor, for making little dreams become big realities.
Every tip and membership on our Ko-fi, the same goal you see there, counted the moment Ko-fi tells us. Tips for a stand still go 100% to that stand. Be one of them.

Monthly, on Ko-fi. Every level gets a public thank-you from us; every level pays for the platform, the card fees on the kids’ tips, and the prizes they play for.
- For anyone
Supporter
$5a month
You’re in the kids’ corner. Five dollars a month keeps The Squeeze free for every kid in Oklahoma who wants to put a stand on the map, and keeps our hands out of their tip jars. Steady, quiet, and it matters more than you’d think.
Become a Supporter - For people who had a stand once
Advocate
$15a month
You don’t just want the kids to have a platform — you want it to be a good one, and you’ll tell people about it. Advocates are why we can keep building: new counties, the County Cup, a real prize every summer. This is the level for people who had a stand once, or wish they had.
Become an Advocate - For businesses, churches, grandparents
Benefactor
$40a month
The people holding the whole thing up. Benefactors are the reason a nine-year-old in Cimarron County gets the same website as a kid in Tulsa — businesses, churches, grandparents, anyone who remembers their first dollar and wants the next kid to earn theirs. This is standing all the way behind them.

Two jars, kept apart
So nobody ever has to wonder.
Sponsorships run the site — and buy the prizes
The map and the database, the domain, the emails that sign owners in and put listings live, and the card-processing fees on every tip, so the kids keep 100% of what they are given. And the part the kids actually see: a commercial juicer for every County Cup champion, a custom-built wooden stand for the Best Stand in Oklahoma, and the Squeeze merch we give away through the summer. This is the jar this page is about.
Have a prize to give? Donate it →Tips go to the stand
Tip a stand on its page and the whole tip reaches that stand. The card-processing fee is paid out of sponsor support, not out of the kid’s tip, and The Squeeze keeps none of it. Find a stand to tip.
Quick answers
The things people ask before they pick a level.
Does my sponsorship go to the kids?
No — it runs the site, and that is the point: because sponsors cover the costs, the kids list for free and we never take a cut of their tips — sponsors even cover the card-processing fees on them. If you want money to reach a particular kid, find their stand and tip it; every cent of that goes to the stand.
Can I cancel?
Any time, from your Ko-fi account. The month you have paid for runs to its end and you are not charged again.
Will you thank me publicly?
Yes. Every sponsor gets a thank-you on The Squeeze’s social channels, by the name on your Ko-fi account or a business name you give us. If you would rather not be named, say so and we will thank you quietly instead.
Is it a charitable donation?
No. The Squeeze is a small Oklahoma business, not a registered charity, so a sponsorship is not tax-deductible. It is a monthly contribution toward running and building the site.
Where does the money actually go?
Two places. The platform: the map and the database, the domain, the tools that send sign-in links and approval emails, and whatever is being built next. And the prizes: the commercial juicer each County Cup champion wins, the custom-built stand that goes to the Best Stand in Oklahoma, and the merch we give away during the season. Nothing goes to anyone’s salary yet.
Thank you for even reading this far.
Whichever level you pick, a kid somewhere in Oklahoma gets to keep their stand on the map because of it.
