Specialty
Event Planner, Fundraising Consulting,

About

Our expertise comes from creating and producing over 347 events in 40 cities, raising over $581 million for our clients, and supporting more than 433,000 participants, most of whom we also recruited and coached on fundraising.

Our client base has always been almost exclusively non-profit organizations and major hospitals. Our events range from small 5Ks with no registration fee to multi-day, multi-route rides and walks with high fundraising minimums and 10,000 participants. We stand out from other agencies because of the high quality of our events, our commitment to continuous improvement, our attention to the bottom line, and the way we embody our clients’ missions as our own.

As COVID-19 has disrupted our industry, we’ve helped our clients transition to hybrid and virtual experiences, and continue to ideate events of the future. We created engaging and memorable online experiences that keep their fundraisers passionately connected…even while we remain six feet apart.OP 3’s extensive experience creating impactful events of all types will help your team create blueprints for fundraising despite these uncertain times.

We had a fairly successful peer-to-peer product, but were looking for a professional firm to come in and take it from good to great. What stood out about Colleen and OP3 from the beginning was their excitement and love for the job and our anticipated outcomes. Immediately they could envision where we needed to go and already had easy, tangible ways that we could begin implementing small changes for big wins. As we continued to grow, Colleen challenged us, championed us and created concepts that served both our ministry and our customer base well. We saw exponential wins with the Walks Colleen managed for us and created strategy for further growth in the coming years. In the midst of all the "work" Colleen - and her team - were just plain fun to be around. They really became an extension of our team and it was a true joy to work alongside of them.
