Case Study: Cancer Research Society (CRS) achieves peer-to-peer fundraising growth with Blackbaud TeamRaiser

CRS Fuels Peer-to-Peer Fundraising Growth with Blackbaud TeamRaiser

The Cancer Research Society (CRS) needed a way to support and grow its Challenge Against Cancer peer-to-peer fundraising program, which lets participants turn sporting adventures into fundraising efforts for cancer research. CRS used Blackbaud TeamRaiser to help fundraisers create personalized pages, share their stories, and rally support more effectively.

With Blackbaud TeamRaiser, CRS improved participant engagement, made fundraising easier, and strengthened community involvement through real-time progress tracking and outreach tools. The results have been significant: since 2010, the program has raised $5 million, annual fundraising has grown from $48,000 to $500,000, and participation has increased by 20% each year, with 80% of participants inspiring friends and family to get involved.
