BT Tower Thanksgiving Dinner: Children's Radio Foundation
How Children's Radio Foundation raised £30,000+ at a Thanksgiving dinner at the top of the BT Tower, using mobile silent auction bidding, live auctions, text raffles, and automated Gift Aid processing.
Children's Radio Foundation trains young reporters across Africa, equipping them with skills to amplify their voices. The organisation hosted a fundraising dinner at the top of the BT Tower in London to support this mission.
The Evening
The Thanksgiving Dinner took place at the top of the BT Tower with 80 attendees who participated in both silent and live auctions using their mobile phones and provided iPads. The DONATE™ platform automated Gift Aid processing, managed silent auction bidding, processed immediate payments for auction lots, and handled general donations.
The Result
£30,000+ raised through a combination of live auctions, silent auctions, text raffles, and general donations.
"We decided early on to use DONATE™ to give our fundraising a boost...The system automates Gift Aid payments, which is much more efficient than using forms...The DONATE™ team was more than helpful through the event run up and on the night."
