When a Scout troop wanted to host a backyard campout fundraising event on behalf of Westside Food Bank (WSFB), the organization built on this creative idea and launched a larger registration with fundraising campaign on Classy in less than one week to engage their entire community.
After securing a $10,000 match from the troop, the original one-day campout grew to become a season-long event, spanning from May to July 2020. Participants were asked to donate $25 or more per family to reserve a spot, and then commit to raising additional funds through a Classy fundraising page.
The ability to quickly create and promote a professional, beautiful campaign on Classy allowed WSFB to quickly run with this creative idea, gather immediate support from key partners, and raise over $71,000—more than three times their original goal.
