10. Why the Future of Fundraising is Experiential Events bring in an additional component that no other development tool can match: the experience. An event program culminates in the experience itself. Rather than ending with a piece of paper, a brochure, or a web page, an event program actually interacts personally with each individual. An event incorporates all five senses -- moving beyond sight and sound to completely engage the whole person. And further, events multiply that immersion by dozens, hundreds, or sometimes thousands of interactions with other people. Done correctly, this experience is an unmatched way to allow donors and constituents to see, feel, and interact with your organization and its mission.

13. Komen 3-Day for the Cure Challenge: For the past seven years, Event 360 has worked with Susan G. Komen to develop, execute, and refine the recruitment strategy and production for the 3-Day For the Cure Series in 15 Cities. In addition to a broad media-based marketing approach which includes TV and radio commercials, web banners, and magazine ads, what makes Event 360’s recruitment and retention strategy on the 3-Day for the Cure unique is our personal interaction with Susan G. Komen’s constituency. Opportunities for face-to-face interaction, whether in small groups or one-on-one, allows for a deeper engagement and more committed participants.

31. National Wildlife Federation: Hike & Seek Challenge: Be Out There is a NWF campaign designed to return to the nation’s children what they don’t even know they’ve lost: their connection to the natural world. Kids today spend twice as much time indoors as their parents did, missing out on the simple pleasures and lasting mental and physical health benefits of daily outdoor time. NWF hired Event 360 to develop a concept and conduct a feasibility study for a fundraising event tied to the mission of Be Out There. Solution: Hike & Seek, a National Wildlife Federation fundraising event, is a cross between a nature hike and a scavenger hunt that brings families and friends together in the great outdoors for fresh air and fun! The activity is appealing to families who are looking for ways to spend quality time together in the outdoors with an educational component The income model is a flat, per person registration fee layered with a suggested fundraising ask Staggered starts every 15 minutes will offer crowd control and ensure a positive participant experience Interactive learning stations will be staffed by naturalists and offer opportunities to rest NWF launched Hike & Seek in Fall 2010 DC, Chicago, and Seattle.
33. Susan G. KomenGLOBAL RACE FOR THE CURE Case study for participant support and event production for a massiveevent
34. Susan G. Komen Global Race for the Cure With over 40,000 participants, the Race requires a tiered level of support for team captains, top fundraisers and other key constituent groups. Over the last two years, we’ve converted the event culture from one focused solely on generating awareness through high-volume participation to one that realized the importance of raising money to further the cause and the mission of the organization. Event 360 manages a segmented, targeted online communication strategy that speaks to prospects and participants differently, based on indicators such as their relationship to the event and cause, their fundraising progress or their team captain status. This campaign recently won the 2010 Marketing Sherpa “Best In Show” award. Ambassador Brinker commented that Event 360 “brought the magic back” to the event.
35. Susan G. Komen Global Race for the Cure Since 2009, Event 360 has served as the event producer for the Global Race for the Cure. We are responsible for all aspects of the event, including: Event planning, logistics and execution Participant outreach and communications Sponsorship activation Program development Volunteer management Vendor management Fundraising strategy and support Donations management Upon assuming responsibility for the Global Race, Event 360 developed a six-point event strategy that focused on engaging the audience before, during and after the event. We were able to make changes to the event itself that made Komen for the Cure’s brand and event day messages audible and visible to all participants.

41. Autism Society of AmericaBOUNCE FOR AUTISM A case study for bringing mission into action through an event concept & “Event in a Box” deployment model for a multi-city series
42. Autism Society of America: Bounce for Autism Challenge: Autism Society of America approached Event 360 to design a nationwide event series to further it’s mission of improving the lives of all affected by autism, with the goal of creating a mission-focused concept that could be self-deployed in multiple cities by ASA chapters. Solution: Event 360 was tasked with designing a concept that families with children on the autism spectrum would enjoy. Given that autistic children will rock, bounce, and swing as a soothing motion, we designed a concept around giant inflatable jumpers and slides for bouncing. Event 360 then worked with Autism society to create a production model that could be deployed in multiple cities and scaled to large and small markets. Deliverables included: Standardized production guidelines and set up instructions for use, organize and operate a series of Bounce for Autism fundraising events. Bounce for Autism Event Kit, various resources/tools and expanding the Bounce for Autism website to include individual team raisers. Event 360 provided to hosts in the shape of email, progress phone call and event training calls. We also created and implemented an e-Communication strategy to support participant activity and hosted a command center to respond to participant inquiries.
