TaskRhino Success Story #3:

Hope Walks Foundation had run their annual charity walk for 15 years using legacy software that required extensive manual work.

They created custom fundraising page templates, automated participant communications, and integrated the mobile app for day-of-event check-in. The result? A 28% increase in average fundraising per participant, 89% reduction in registration processing time, and a mobile check-in process that cut wait times from 15 minutes to under 60 seconds. “TaskRhino transformed our event from an operational headache into a participant-focused experience,” said Sarah K., Event Director.
