“We were particularly intrigued with the Maximum Bid feature. It’s easy for a bidder to get distracted and forget to check on their bids. By setting a maximum bid, they can set it and forget it.”

We have some really special friends, that just blew me away. We are humbled by the overwhelming support and the prayers, music, ribbons, generosity, cards, emails, walks, Kayla’s Hope Week, and the coming together of so many. We are forever grateful.”

“Here was a product that not only solved our problems, but had the potential to increase funds raised."

"Don’t be afraid of the what-ifs with a virtual event. Across the world, people are looking for ways to help and do something good. We saw that at our event, and because of our success, we are going to turn this virtual event into an annual fundraiser.”

“The reason we went with OneCause and online is because we needed as many resources as possible and OneCause seemed better than any other as far as simplicity for users, as well as the back-end and what we were able to do.”

"OneCause enabled our organization to move our event entirely online and showcase our why. We were able to bring the Camelot experience and keep the event’s special character. We reached even more people and surpassed last year’s fundraising success."

"We were able to keep it simple, have fun, and connect our virtual event guests to our mission. Going virtual isn’t about all the bells and whistles find a way to differentiate yourself from other events while still staying true to your cause, and the results may just surprise you …
