Charleston Animal Society
Charleston Animal Society’s annual chili cook-off—a signature fundraiser with 6,000-plus participants—had to be re-engineered in 2020 due to new state health regulations and COVID-19 restrictions. With the support of “Lucky Dog” television star Brandon McMillan, the launch of a pet star search for “Rescue Brew Beer,” and the power of the peer-to-peer fundraising platform JustGiving® from Blackbaud®, the team created a virtual chili cook-off with an expanded reach and easy integration with other Blackbaud solutions, ultimately raising almost $400,000.
