Supporting an Annual Campaign Launch

StacheStrong came to Classy in May of 2021 with the ambition to engage more families impacted by brain cancer.

Just four months later, they doubled their donation goal for the year with a hybrid 5K walk/run event, optimized NYC Marathon peer-to-peer page, and sleek main donation button.

Their donor-focused user interface gives supporters the stage to share personal stories with their networks however they choose. StacheStrong’s powerful video documentary and seamless checkout experience powered by ClassyPay gives nearly 3,000 newly-acquired supporters and counting the ability to connect with and effortlessly support their cause.

This is just the beginning as detailed analytics point to new opportunities for StacheStrong to present donors with in the future.
