McShea Family Medical Fundraising
Raised $10,670
“We had a beloved board member of our Little League baseball organization who suffered a brain aneurysm. As you can imagine, medical bill started to pile up, along with requests for support (meals, transportation, etc), while the family spent a good deal of time in the hospital. As a board we "passed around the hat" a few times, to scrape up a couple hundred dollars to assist the family. We discussed as a board that this process was not very productive, and only scratched the surface of need. I went on searching for sites that could help expedite our request for funds and found "Donation To". It was easy to set up, and a reasonable cost. We set a lofty goal to raise $10,000 in less than 2 months. We has a large e-mail distribution chain for the entire Little League, so with one crafted e-mail, we sent the link to the web-page, and in a matter of days we had a couple thousand dollars pledged. Before the 2 month window we exceeded our $10,000 goal! How spectacular it felt when the family came to our monthly board meeting and we were able to hand them over $10,000 to help in their financial hardship. - McShea family
