Whether you’re hosting a gala, auction, or special event, GalaBid’s Paddle Raise feature brings fast and accurate paddle raise processing directly into your event workflow.

No guesswork, no delays

Our Paddle Raise feature includes a dedicated paddle number field that makes it quick and easy to enter a guest’s paddle number at check-in

Your team spends less time managing logistics and more time engaging supporters.

  • Super-fast donation entry:  record paddle raise amounts during the event or immediately afterward in seconds
  • Streamlined paddle number lookup: eliminates manual searching
  • Accurate records: all paddle raise gifts are automatically captured in your event reporting

Smarter event check-in for your team

We’ve enhanced the event check-in experience so staff can manage attendees with confidence and ease. At a glance, your team can see:

  • Which guests have a payment method on file
  • Who is ready to bid, buy, or donate
  • Each guest’s account and payment status during check-in

These upgrades reduce bottlenecks at the door and ensure your team can focus on guest experience and fundraising success.

Built for in-person fundraising success

Whether you’re running a dedicated paddle raise segment or incorporating live giving into your program, our Paddle Raise feature helps you:

  • Capture paddle raise commitments quickly and securely
  • Reduce administrative workload and manual entry
  • Deliver a smooth, confidence-building experience for guests
  • Sync paddle raise data directly into your GalaBid reports
