Raised through golf events on EventEase
Don L. says Building Fires has raised over $50,000 through golf events run on EventEase, and that replicating a prior event dropped his setup time to under an hour. Those are Building Fires’ results — not a promise EventEase can make for someone else’s tournament.
The first event
They needed more than golfer registration.
Building Fires supports developing youth through athletics, academics, scholarships, and community programs. When the organization began planning its first charity event, the first job was simple: an event website and a way for golfers to register.
Then the rest of the tournament showed up. Payment collection. Sponsorship sign-ups. Day-of-sale items — mulligans, hats, shirts. Starting holes. What started as a registration portal had to hold the whole event.
“When we began planning for our first charity event, our first priority was an event page and registration portal that would allow us to sign-up golfers. Payment collection was the next big win. On top of that, we could also collect sponsorship sign-ups and organize our day of sale items (mulligans, hats, shirts, etc.) and starting holes.”
“EventEase gave us just what we needed across the entire event and at a great value for the offering.”
Coming back
The real payoff showed up when they came back.
A first event needs a complete setup. The next one should not. Building Fires already had a repeatable event structure inside EventEase, so Don could get the next tournament set up in under an hour — and spend that time on promotion and attracting sponsors.
“The ability to replicate a prior event dropped my set-up time to under an hour for an event with a repeatable structure.”
“This allows us to stick to high-value activities like promotional awareness and attracting sponsors.”
Built with our customers
EventEase changed with their needs.
Personal support is not just answering questions. EventEase stays close enough to customers that useful product improvements can come directly from organizer needs.
Building Fires needed a better way to understand overall event profitability. EventEase added the ability to enter expenses alongside income, so Don could see a more complete view of the event in one place.
Built with our customers, not just for them.
“When we have needed help, the support from EventEase has been exceptional. Even to the point of adding new functionality to the tool that allowed us to enter expenses as well as income so that we got a holistic view of the overall profitability of the event right from the EventEase page.”

“We have raised over $50,000 through our golf events that we run on EventEase and exceeded our expectations with each event.”
The EventEase difference
The event doesn’t start over every year. Neither should the software.
Building Fires did not need to rebuild its tournament from scratch when it returned to EventEase. The previous event structure gave Don a starting point, so he could get the repeat event set up in under an hour and focus on promotion and sponsors.
As Building Fires’ needs evolved, EventEase evolved with them — including adding expense tracking alongside income for a clearer picture of event profitability.
