I built mine using Bandzoogle which is a platform designed for and by musicians. I have found it to be very user friendly which I need because tech is not my area. I will also say that whenever I have had an issue I am able to chat with an actual HUMAN and even better have received phone calls about the issue. Shocking I know! :)

I FREAKING Love this idea! For my brain this is exactly what I needed to get unstuck. So so fun!

Had my first event of the spring season on January 30 and I loved it. Paddle raise only but this is a group that has always had a very traditional gala and last year changed it up quite a bit to be a comedy show. Changed locations to a theater, have a very short and I mean VERY short program, paddle raise and then right into the comedian. It has been such a refreshing change and they have raised more than they did at their more traditional sit down dinner type of gala. Great point about keeping things fresh and not being afraid to take a risk. Their guests LOVE the change and it's a win win for everyone.

@Bobby D. Ehlert It's been a great change for them. Last year I opened for the comic but this year I opted not to. It's an odd shift to go from raising money to then transition to be the opening comic.

I am planning on attending this year, just need to see how the year goes.
