By Molly Fast More than a decade ago, I wrote this blog post talking about the best donation thank you letter I’ve ever received. Spoiler alert, the key points I shared were that the thank you letter left me feeling grateful I… Read More

By Molly Fast I often tell peer-to-peer fundraising event participants that when it comes to fundraising, you’re only limited by your imagination and the law. This advice can also apply to those of us who are behind the scenes putting the fundraising strategy together. In fact, our success comes…
By Abbie Peterson After years of producing events, there is one thing we know for sure. Peer-to-peer fundraising events are magic. They allow individuals to come together as one community to grieve, honor, celebrate and fight for causes that are important to us. They give us tangible… Read…

By Molly Fast In 2004, only six months after my father was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, he died. He was only 55 years old. A few years after that, I found my way to a community that helped me take action and heal. I haven’t turned back since.
Since 2013, I’ve participated in Cycle for Survival, the movement to beat rare cancers. Having lost my father to esophageal cancer at the age of 55 just six months after his diagnosis, I’ve been devoted to this cause as a way to honor his life and ensure more families don’t……
Happy birthday, mighty Event 360! As we approach our 18th birthday on November 27th, we’re excited to take a moment and reflect on this special place that so many have called “home” since its founding in 2002. Not many small businesses reach the “old enough to vote” milestone, and our……
The current state of the world has turned so many aspects of events on their head. We’ve all been challenged. We’ve been forced to cancel or postpone or virtualize (that’s a word now, right?) events. We’ve had to pivot and figure out how to safely do the work we all……
By Molly Fast It’s no secret that fundraising in light of COVID-19 is significantly challenging. We’ve all seen the devastation this pandemic has caused to the event fundraising space. During the early months – March and April – no one really knew how long we were going to be in……

By Heather Snyder There are as many different attitudes and approaches to fundraising as there are individual fundraisers. Some take a methodical approach, others make an emotional appeal, and still others fundraise with a sense of fun and humor. The Coconutter Strutters, a Susan G. Komen Michigan 3-Day team, is……
By Suzanne Mooney I first saw J.D. at the opening ceremony of Challenge Walk MS: Savannah. Slade Thompson and I had flown to Georgia to observe the three-day, 50-mile walk as part of an event audit we are doing for the National Multiple Sclerosis… Read More
By Courtney Jones and Casey S. Campbell Giving Tuesday was November 28, and if you recall hopping onto social media, even for a second, you most likely saw a friend or two post about a cause important to them. Facebook―with its more than two-billion users―has totally revamped the peer-to-peer fundraising……
By Lauren Pike Have you heard of the 80/20 rule? It states that 80% of your fundraising will come from 20% of your fundraisers. It sounds far-fetched but we’ve found this principle to be true regardless of the type of event or its size. With such a small…
We partner with the National MS Society to produce MuckFest MS the fun mud & obstacle 5K that requires no special training, just a sense of humor. Our partnership extends to working with the local MS Society Chapter that benefits from the funds raised by participants. The Greater New England Chapter……
There’s lots of change around me. Some I’m engineering and some I’m watching from the sidelines. Partly due to the weather (yes, even in Santa Monica, the weather changes!) and partly due to the time of year, I’m finding solace in reconnecting to the reason why I do this work……
