The Challenge

Run for Hope 5K needed to raise $150,000 for pediatric cancer research. Previous years relied on corporate sponsorships and manual donation collection, which was time-consuming and unpredictable. The organizing team wanted to empower individual runners to fundraise on their behalf.

How EnduranceFinder Helped

EnduranceFinder's affiliate engine gave every registered runner a personal referral link. When friends and family registered or donated through that link, the runner got credit on a public leaderboard. Built-in donation tools let supporters contribute directly during checkout, and automated thank-you emails kept donors engaged.
