- Leaderboards keep score automatically.
- Utilize the Virtual Event Module to host guests online for a true online event experience where the livestream, leaderboard, donor giving and guest conversation could be enjoyed simultaneously
- Utilize text to donate function for in-person guests to support a dance team during the event (giving via text is visible on the virtual module so that all donor regardless of location can enjoy the real-time fundraising and donor acknowledgement)
