Case Study: Starlight Children’s Foundation raises $40K with GoFundMe Pro

Ghostbusters raise $40k on behalf of Starlight Children’s Foundation

The Starlight Children’s Foundation sought to inspire its supporters to deepen their involvement beyond one-time donations. To meet this challenge, they partnered with GoFundMe and implemented GoFundMe Pro’s peer-to-peer fundraising solution to make it easy for anyone to fundraise on their behalf.

The solution involved the LA Ghostbusters using GoFundMe Pro’s platform to activate a nationwide campaign, recruiting over 20 groups to fundraise. This initiative by GoFundMe raised $40,000, which funded 1,000 Ghostbusters-themed hospital gowns and a gaming station for seriously ill children, demonstrating the power of community-powered fundraising.
