“Because of the support we received from Digital Marketing Services, and the amazing fundraising tools MobileCause offers, we were able to have tremendous success in exceeding our campaign fundraising goal!”
– Candice Wood, Development Events Manager
Challenge
Every year, Memorial Medical Center Foundation hosts their annual gala with a ‘Dancing for Our Stars’ competition. In previous years, they garnered support through peer-to-peer fundraising strategies where the dancers would have their own pages and reach out to their networks to ask for donations. In 2018, they were looking for an easier way to collect donations and expand their donor base.
Solution
- To help Memorial Medical Center Foundation achieve their goals, the MobileCause Digital Marketing Services experts recommended setting up a keyword and using text-do-donate before, during and after the event to make it easier to reach their constituents, expand their donor base and encourage in the moment giving. During the event, attendees texted their donation using a keyword (TANGO). With the live thermometer displayed on the main screen, they could see their donations in real-time, which created more excitement than they’ve seen at the event prior.
