It seems obvious that peer-to-peer fundraising events would be designed with the organization's missions in mind.
However, amidst the critical logistics decisions, competing messaging priorities and the influence of multiple stakeholders, prioritizing a mission-centric approach can inadvertently take a back seat.
In this episode,
Cure SMA’s Jesse Aynes & Kyle Houlihan join P2PPF’s Marcie Maxwell for a conversation on the importance of leading with a mission-first strategy. Kyle & Jesse will share how their team is expanding the
Walk-n-Roll community by engaging direct mission providers and tell the story of how they launched a new on-site mission experience - and what they learned from it.
In this episode, we’ll also explore:
- The importance of a consistent branding & mission experience - and the distinction between the two
- How their program is evolving to meet the needs and share the stories of the SMA community
- The full-circle impact of the Walk-n-Roll program on Cure SMA’s mission
