When time is short and expectations are high, fundraising needs to be simple, reliable, and effective. Texas Chi Omega at The University of Texas at Austin proved that with the right tools, a focused campaign can deliver impressive results in just two weeks.

For their Dream Jam event supporting Make A Wish Central and South Texas, the chapter needed a better way to manage ticket sales and donations without adding more work to their already busy team.

HelloFund helped make it happen.

The Goal: Fast, Easy, Effective Fundraising

Chi Omega needed a ticketing and fundraising platform that could be set up quickly, handle real-time transactions, and reduce administrative headaches. With event day approaching and their old system falling short, they turned to HelloFund for a solution.

Their fundraiser — “Dream Jam” — was not only a fun night for families and alumni, it was a mission-driven effort with proceeds supporting Make-A-Wish Central & South Texas.

The Challenge

The Chi Omega team’s previous platform struggled with easy ticket sales and real-time donor tracking. With the event looming, they needed:

Secure online ticketing
Mobile-optimized donation pages
Clear tracking of donor data and transactions
Minimal administrative work

Without a quick fix, they risked losing momentum — and dollars. That’s where HelloFund stepped in.

The HelloFund Solution

Within hours, Chi Omega had a branded HelloFund fundraising page, complete with ticketing and donation tools tailored to their event. The platform enabled them to:

Sell tickets securely online
Accept donations from any device
Track contributions in real time
Automate administrative reporting

All while keeping the team focused on raising more for their event — not the tech.

What Made HelloFund the Right Fit

Chi Omega chose HelloFund because:

Same-day setup made last-minute planning stress-free
Donor fee coverage helped more funds go to the cause
User-friendly tools boosted participation and gave supporters a seamless experience

Driving Impact Beyond the Event

This fundraiser wasn’t just a check-box event — it supported Make-A-Wish Central & South Texas, a long-standing partner in Chi Omega’s philanthropy efforts. Chi Omegas nationwide are dedicated to volunteer service and fundraising for Make-A-Wish and other community programs.
