The Blue Ribbon Run, is an annual 5k and 1-mile fun run in Wilmington, NC . The event is dedicated to the cherished memories of Julie M. Brown and Christina Gianoplus. At just 41, both women bravely faced colorectal cancer. The runs mission is twofold: to raise critical funds and awareness for colorectal cancer and to support the vital research through the endowment established in their honor at the UNC-Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Objective

The Blue Ribbon Run, a non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds and awareness for colorectal cancer research, needed a dynamic and user-friendly website to support its mission and annual race event. The website had to serve as an informational hub while providing interactive tools for donors, sponsors, and participants.

The primary objectives for this project were:

Creating a website that reflects the organization’s mission to cure colorectal cancer and raises awareness about the cause.
Promoting The Blue Ribbon Run event with clear calls to action for registration, sponsorship, and donations.
Providing easy online donation options to support fundraising goals.
Developing an online sponsorship form to engage local businesses and organizations.
Integrating race registration with a seamless user experience.
Ensuring the site is responsive for accessibility on all devices.
Updating race participants with current event information.

To meet the Blue Ribbon Run goals, GM Web Services delivered:

Mission-Focused Website Design: We designed a visually appealing and mission-driven site that highlights The Blue Ribbon Run’s purpose and encourages community involvement.
Event Promotion and Integration: The website prominently features race registration, sponsorship opportunities, and event details to drive participation and engagement.
Online Donation System: We implemented a secure, user-friendly donation platform to support fundraising efforts.
Sponsor Engagement: An online sponsorship form was developed to make it easy for local businesses to partner with the organization.
Participant Updates: The site includes a section dedicated to providing current race information, ensuring participants are informed and prepared.
Responsive Design: We ensured the site is fully responsive, delivering a seamless experience across all devices, including desktops, tablets, and smartphones.

The Blue Ribbon Run website successfully supports the organization’s mission by providing a centralized hub for event promotion, donations, and participant engagement. The responsive design and integrated tools have made it easier for supporters to contribute and for the organization to manage its efforts, enhancing overall community impact.

They were so knowledgeable, quick, and helped brainstorm possibilities for our transition to a new site. On the other side of the build, they have provided extremely fast support every time we have had a need - usually within minutes of a problem being identified. I heartily recommend them to anyone who needs a web developer or host.

As chairman of Helluva Taco Fest at PK, I can't say enough about the work Gary Cane and his team at GM Webworks produced for us.  From the initial consultation I was sold on the fact this team could deliver beyond our expectations.  The website and social media produced clearly met our needs and the entire team is a pleasure to work with.
