Account holders can add events that were not booked through you brands fundraiser website by using the Add Existing Event option. This is particularly helpful for regional events that span across multiple locations, an even multiple days.
To get started, navigate to your Dashboard page.
Select Add Existing Event to begin. On the next screen, you will configure the settings that apply to your specific event scenario.

Choose Single Day for traditional one-day events or events that occur on multiple, non-consecutive dates.

Multi-Day
Choose Multi-Day for events that run across consecutive days. This includes events with or without breaks between days.
