Case Study: Riverside Ranch raises over $40,000 for therapeutic riding with GolfStatus

Therapeutic Riding Program Builds On Its Golf Fundraiser’s Success

Riverside Ranch, a nonprofit therapeutic riding program, needed to raise mission-critical funds after opening during the COVID-19 pandemic. Its executive director, Sarah Valentine, decided to launch a charity golf tournament but had no prior experience planning one. The initial attempt to manage registration through their own website proved complicated and not user-friendly. They sought a simpler, more efficient solution and found GolfStatus.

By using GolfStatus's event management platform through its Golf for Good program, Riverside Ranch streamlined online registration and sponsorship sales. This solution saved significant administrative time and made the process easy for golfers and sponsors. Over the tournament's first two years, GolfStatus helped the nonprofit raise over $40,000, allowing them to add a third horse to their stable and serve more riders. The event also successfully attracted new supporters who learned about the organization's cause.
