Case Study: Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Bluegrass achieves 122% of its $5,000 fundraising goal (raises $6,125) with Bloomerang Fundraising

Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Bluegrass Raises Over $6,000 With an Impromptu Virtual Gaming Event

Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Bluegrass, a nonprofit supporting children and families, had to cancel a key in-person fundraiser due to the pandemic and had only six weeks to pivot. They wanted to run a virtual peer-to-peer event but lacked a fundraising platform and needed a fast, flexible solution to replace the lost revenue.

They selected Qgiv’s peer-to-peer tools, completed rapid onboarding, and launched "Givers & Gamers"—a livestream and virtual Dungeons & Dragons fundraiser with customizable pages and strong support. The event drew 29 participants, generated 131 donations, saw a 13‑year‑old raise more than $1,600, and exceeded its $5,000 goal by 122%, raising $6,125.
