Case Study: Starlight Children’s Foundation achieves 100% app adoption and a greener, more connected CapFest with Socio

How Starlight Children’s Foundation Fostered New Connections and Became More Environmentally Friendly with Socio

Starlight Children’s Foundation turned to Socio to support CapFest, its biennial gathering of 100+ Captain Starlights. The organization needed to strengthen national connections, create a memorable shared experience for performers who work closely with seriously ill children, and make the event its most environmentally friendly yet by eliminating printed maps and agendas.

Socio delivered an event app that served as a central hub with interactive maps, agendas, workshop check‑ins and a private social wall for photos and posts. The result: 100% app adoption, 80+ social wall posts capturing memories, and the elimination of roughly 3,500 printed pages, while organizers could track signups and engagement in real time using Socio.
