Accelevents

Our event committee collected amazing raffle prizes, but as the night of the event approached, we realized that an old-fashioned, paper raffle system would be a nightmare. We also realized that this gave us an opportunity to be creative.
With a cause that we felt so connected to, we focused on accomplishing two goals for our fundraiser: raising as much money as we could, and making the event fun and engaging so that attendees would return year after year.

We envisioned an easy-to-use mobile platform to replace paper raffle tickets. It would be smoother, more engaging, and would hopefully help us donate more money. After a fruitless search for an affordable solution, we used our backgrounds in technology to create our own prototype: a text-message based raffle system. We barely had time to test it, but it was all we had. If it worked, we knew how much excitement it would add to the evening.
