Why We Love It:
Customized Website
The Doggie Dawdle makes fantastic use of the website theme customizations and website building capabilities for a seamless transition from their main organization website to their GiveSignup fundraising event website. To achieve this look, the Doggie Dawdle took advantage of:
- Custom banners
- Custom color scheme and branding
- Custom wording, changing the call to action buttons to “Register Now!” and “Give Today
To fully achieve a seamless flip, we recommend adding in custom favicons and domains!
Milestones and Badges for Fundraisers
The event created an engaging fundraising journey with gamification, adding branded milestones and badges for both individual and team fundraisers. The event gets creative with the milestones that fundraisers can earn by including different types of achievements beyond amount raised.

TicketSignup is built with the same infrastructure as GiveSignup and both platforms have many of the same features like free websites and email. Additionally, TicketSignup has an event day app built by the team behind the RaceDay CheckIn App. The Year 4 Giving event created a simple ticket event with a custom banner image, donation card, donation thermometer, and slideshow.

Steps for Healing
Customer Snapshot

- Donation Goal: $210,000
The steps for healing 5K run walk is a fundraising event to raise donations for Children’s Bereavement Center (“CBC”) and support grieving families across South Florida. Participants will have a unique course to run through the zoo Miami, encouraging all ages to join in.
Why We Love It:
Cover Page
The Steps for Healing event keeps their cause at the forefront of their cover page. Starting with their banner image, they immediately include the logo of their fundraising cause. Then, after the neatly displayed race information, they add in dynamic fundraising components such as the fundraiser leader board and donation thermometer. Then finally they end with a touching video from CBC participants.
Donation Page
The event has a great donation page, creating a persuasive and authentic call to action. This donation page is a star example of what information to include. First, they specify exactly what your contribution will be used for. Then, they show a breakdown of exactly what your donation amount will cover. Taking the time to explain how a donors gift will be used is powerful for hesitant or lukewarm donors.
