Testimonials

Sara Lipsky | Executive Director :: The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society – Long Island Chapter

This was the first time we tried Fund the Fight and to be honest we weren’t sure how receptive our guests would be. We were thrilled by the results. Erin was warm, funny, and engaging. Not only did we raise more funds for the mission then we would have but it really added a fun element to our event.

Diane Kath | President: California Labs and More

We cannot thank you enough for the absolutely FABULOUS job you did for us at Bark in the Barn this year! To say you blew up the tent would be an understatement. We had our most successful event by a long shot and we believe you had a significant impact on that positive change. Your team was over the top fun and animated and kept people in their seats. Your idea of incentivizing the giving with trip to Tahoe was a big hit and we would love to continue that gig!

Kimberly Cabral | Executive Director: Mothers Awareness of School Age Kids

Bobby D. and his team were amazing! They were so inviting to our audience, everyone was engaged and so giving. Inspire Hearts Fundraising really took our event to the next level. Thank you!
