First Children\u2019s Gala in ten years<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since implementing GoFundMe Pro, Sanford Health Foundation<\/a>\u2019s online giving increased by 200% from year-end 2021 to year-end 2022.<\/strong> Because of the success Sanford Health had already seen with GoFundMe Pro, they decided to use GoFundMe Pro event management software, Live Events<\/a>, for its first Children\u2019s Gala<\/a> in ten years. The gala was a time to highlight the care local children receive every day at Sanford Children\u2019s Hospital in the Sioux Falls region of South Dakota and celebrate the role that philanthropy plays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the gala, Live Events\u2019 end-to-end event capabilities supported registration, seating, check-in, check-out, texting, and a paddle raise for direct donations to the Children\u2019s Hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
