Case Study: Ronald McDonald House Charities of Idaho raises $100,000 with GolfStatus

Ronald McDonald House Charities of Idaho Raises $100,000 Through Virtual Golf Event

Ronald McDonald House Charities of Idaho, which provides lodging for families of hospitalized children, faced the challenge of adapting their major annual golf fundraiser amidst COVID-19 gathering restrictions. The organization needed a no-risk, safe solution to hold the event without an in-person gathering. They turned to the vendor GolfStatus and utilized its Golf for Good program, which provided its event management platform at no cost to the nonprofit.

GolfStatus provided a platform for a virtual golf tournament, allowing participants to play on their own time while using a live-scoring app to sync to an event leaderboard. This solution automated registration and scoring, reduced marketing costs, and offered valuable digital exposure for sponsors. The event was a success for GolfStatus, raising over $100,000 and securing 38 sponsors, all while safely supporting the charity's mission.
