Revolutionizing Fan Engagement & Charitable Giving with Innovative Mobile App
The Challenge
The Colorado Avalanche, a professional ice hockey team, faced limitations with their traditional 50/50 raffle system. The existing method restricted participation to in-person attendees, limiting both fan engagement and fundraising potential for charitable causes. The challenge was to expand reach beyond the arena while navigating complex regulatory requirements and ensuring a safe, enjoyable user experience.
