Virtual events operate on a lower overhead than typical in-person events, to deliver a higher return on investment
($130k collected online through the event)
Each year, Operation Smile provides surgery and dental care for 19,000+ children around the globe. This is possible thanks to the generous contributions of medical professionals who volunteer their time, as well as corporations that donate critical supplies and equipment necessary for safe surgery. They rely on fundraisers to create awareness to their cause and to collect donations to help them continue their missions.
2020 presented many challenges for the organization, including the ability to host fundraisers and meet face-to-face at fundraising events. For their annual Smiles Across the Miles event in December of 2020, they quickly pivoted to a virtual environment using ViewStub as their virtual provider. They were able to set up donation-based sponsors and ticketing for the live streamed event.
