Case Study: Lowcountry Orphan Relief achieves a smoother, data-driven gala with FrontStream

How FrontStream Helped Lowcountry Orphan Relief Focus on Gala Guests, Not Logistics

Lowcountry Orphan Relief (LOR), a nonprofit serving children facing abuse, abandonment, or neglect, struggled with a labor-intensive annual gala that created frustrating check-in, bidding, and checkout experiences for guests. The team also lacked the supporter data needed to engage attendees after the event, making it hard to build on the gala’s success year-round. FrontStream helped LOR modernize its fundraising operations with event and auction tools.

FrontStream implemented mobile bidding, streamlined check-in and checkout, and an integrated CRM to capture attendee and bidder data automatically. The results included a smoother guest experience, better year-round data for future campaigns, and more flexible fundraising options. Most notably, LOR’s “Backpack Auction” raised $30,000 in just five minutes, showing the measurable impact of FrontStream’s solution.
