“OneCause has brought user-friendly donor and admin experiences to the virtual event space, with new and improved capabilities to help nonprofits accomplish all their goals,” said Elaina Repucci, Director of Special Events for the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation New England Chapter. “There just aren’t other platforms out there that have all the key pieces you need to make a virtual event successful in one place, on one screen. Because of the Virtual Event Center, we were able to exceed our event fundraising goal helping to improve the lives of those living with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.”
“When we were forced to reimagine our annual 500 person, in-person, signature event, we immediately turned to OneCause for guidance in accomplishing our vision and fundraising goals,” said Alyssa Lego, co-founder, Morgan Marie Michael Foundation. “The Virtual Event Center empowered us to continue fundraising and unite our village of supporters with a unique and engaging experience during these uncertain times. OneCause made it easy, real, relevant, and authentic. The flexibility allowed us to host live interviews, performances, celebrity endorsements, sponsor, raffles, and a silent auction.”
