Our story began with a simple desire: to get a group of friends together to play in a local golf scramble. Like many in our Western New York community, we relied on word of mouth to hear about it, only to realize there was no single place to find events like this or other fundraising activities.

Too many meaningful causes—charity runs, bake sales, basket raffles, and more—are going unnoticed, hidden in the noise of scattered promotions. That’s when it became evident that we had to act, to solve a problem many didn’t even know existed: the absence of a centralized hub for discovering local fundraising events.
