How The American Cancer Society Drove Critical Revenue During COVID And How You Can Too (Sponsored)

Free thanks to sponsorship by GoodUnited

The pandemic turned the 2020 peer-to-peer events season upside down resulting in many cancellations, postponements and less-than-effective replacement solutions.

Yet the American Cancer Society was able to stage 100 successful events in 90 days and drive critical net revenue — all without the need for significant staff time, capital investment or transaction fees.

How? A countrywide virtual event series wholly run within Facebook Groups & leveraging Messenger technology.

Watch the recording to hear American Cancer Society’s Dan Thorpe and GoodUnited’s Founders Nick Black and Jeremy Berman discuss how to create a new, evergreen stream of P2P income in 2021.

You’ll learn:

  • How to match the right audience to the right event and the right geography
  • How to attract overwhelmingly new participants (& revenue)
  • How to get participants so engaged that they post on their own and support the fundraising efforts of others
  • Which important data points to capture and how to leverage them to increase fundraising performance
  • How to cultivate those engaged participants for the long term
