The Challenge

Park City Rotary’s Running of the Balls is a community fundraiser built around a simple idea: supporters purchase balls that race down Park City’s historic Main Street.

But relying heavily on activity surrounding the physical event created a natural fundraising ceiling.

Rotary wanted to increase participation and fundraising while creating stronger visibility and sales momentum before event day.

‍

🏔️ Taking the Fundraiser Beyond Main Street

Consortium Media developed branding and social media promotion designed to generate interest and drive sales before the physical event.

The strategy helped Rotary reach supporters virtually rather than relying primarily on purchases surrounding the event itself.

‍

The campaign included:

🎨 Event branding & creative

📱 Social media marketing

💻 Virtual sales promotion

📣 Pre-event awareness

🎟️ Fundraising promotion

🤝 Community engagement

‍

The impact became apparent before the race even started. According to Rotary, pre-event sales were running so far ahead of previous years that organizers decided to add more balls the night before the event.
