How Two Teams Joined Forces to Transform Nonprofit Fundraising Events
Life Event Staffing
A Partnership Built to Make Fundraising Nights Effortless
If you've ever supported a nonprofit gala, you know the truth: everything builds toward one night. One chance to check in hundreds of guests smoothly. One chance to run a seamless auction. One chance to inspire donors. And absolutely no time for tech issues. That's the world Batterby, Founder & CEO of Life Event Staffing, lives in every day.
Her company grew from a small, pandemic-era team to nearly 1,000 trained onsite professionals serving nonprofits across the country. But as the demand for onsite events skyrocketed, so did the need for reliable, worry-free event technology.
Lauren knew staffing inside out. What she needed was a tech partner she could trust with her eyes closed. She already knew exactly who that was.
How Lauren Found Her “Go-To” Tech Partner
Before launching Life Event Staffing, Lauren worked with Fello while supporting GiveSmart. She saw firsthand how much smoother events ran when the equipment simply worked - fully charged, preconfigured, on time, and backed by a support team that cared.
So when she built her own company, she chose not to take tech in-house.
She went straight to Fello.
And the results changed everything for her nonprofit clients.
Why The Partnership Works
Stress-Free Booking
No hidden fees. No confusion. Just a simple quote, fast confirmation, and exactly what was promised - delivered where and when it needs to be.
Consistency That Nonprofits Can Count On
According to Lauren, equipment issues are almost nonexistent: devices arrive ready, functional, and fully prepared for the night ahead. The few challenges that do come up — usually shipping-related — are handled fast and quietly.
A Partner That Solves Problems Before They Become Problems
Lauren's team often doesn't even know something went wrong... because Fello already fixed it behind the scenes.
"With Fello, our clients are handled from start to finish — and we don't have to worry. That level of trust is everything."

How this Partnership Elevates Nonprofit Events
Lauren describes it best:
When the backend is handled perfectly, her team can stay in the room, with the donors, doing the work that raises money.
Fast, frustration-free guest check-in
Reliable bidding and donation flows
Confident onsite staff
A fully supported event from setup through teardown
A calmer, more focused planning team
Happier donors — and higher fundraising potential
Nonprofits depend on an unforgettable donor experience. That means no slow check-ins, no device issues, and no last-minute scrambling.
The Partnership, in one sentence
"We go hand in hand to deliver the full package — staffing and tech working together to create successful events."
- Batterby
What’s Next
Even after four years of working together, Lauren sees massive opportunity ahead.
Many nonprofits are still transitioning from paper-based systems. As technology becomes even more central to fundraising, the Life Event Staffing x Fello partnership is ready to support them — with the reliability, calm, and confidence nonprofits desperately need on event night.
Together, the two teams are setting a new standard:
one partnership, one vendor experience, one flawless event night.
When the Tech Works, the Whole Event Works.
