The event was a huge success. Pledges were raised by 79 students during
a four week campaign, following the kickoff.
The expenses for hosting the bike ride were minimal and on the day of
the big event, our small k-8 school had raised roughly $23,000 in cash
donations from the community and local businesses as well as a few thousand dollars
of in-kind donations, food, beverages, services and prizes.
It was apparent that event based fundraising was a
real winner. With the right tools and
resources any group can host a successful fundraising event. But first, we needed to provide a
professional solution that could be implemented by any organization and
provide baseline consistency year after year regardless of persons serving on
the committee.
First, we trademarked the fundraising events; Fun
Run for Pride®, Bike Ride for Pride® and Walk for Pride®. Then we created an easy-to-use, custom web
page tool, a secure credit card gateway and marketing materials to support
your fundraising campaign. Combined
with a proven step-by-step guide and an online event/campaign management
system, we had a recipe for a successful fundraising program!
We encourage small groups, schools,
churches and emergency responders to license our trademarked fundraising
events and use our technology,
marketing
materials and know-how
to host a signature fundraising event where you can keep as much as 90 to 95%
of the proceeds after expenses.
We are committed to keeping our overall fees
low, and our customer support ready to serve you so you can rely on our program
to help you get started, save you time and maximize your proceeds with a
successful campaign that energizes participants, students, parents and
community.
There is no better show of Pride in
your community, school, church or organization when you give of your time and
efforts to achieve a common goal. We
look forward to helping you reach those goals.
Sincerely,
Shannon L. Godwin
Executive Director
