BLKB Blackbaud Inc

everydayheroTM, a Blackbaud, Inc. (NASDAQ:BLKB) company and innovative crowdfundraising platform, continues to enhance the fundraising landscape through its latest integration with Strava, a global leader in fitness tracking, providing millions the chance to easily integrate fitness and philanthropy.

everydayhero built its business around the important insight that when people give back, they donate more than just money; they donate their time, efforts and energy. Integrating with Strava provides a unique opportunity for fundraisers to share the physical efforts they are also giving in support of their favorite cause.

“The increase of individuals using technology to drive self-awareness by measuring all aspects of their daily lives and rapid uptake of wearable technologies are enabling greater insights into our personal health, wellbeing and performance,” said everydayhero’s Global Marketing Director, Simon Lockyer. “The collection of this data through fitness applications like Strava is a valuable fundraising tool as we have found that individuals who share their fitness efforts on their fundraising pages raise more for charity than those who don’t.”

Strava complements everydayhero’s existing integration with MapMyFitness. By integrating with two of the world’s most popular fitness tracking apps, it underscores the company’s commitment to make charitable giving easier, more enjoyable and a part of people’s everyday lives.
