Case Study: ACE Mentor Program

For 18+ years, Hoopla has planned and executed the annual fundraiser for ACE Chicago, a mentorship program for high schoolers interested in the architecture, engineering, and construction fields.

Called Building Futures, the annual fundraiser is a lively event attended by architecture, engineering, construction, and trades professionals, as well as mentors and students. Hoopla is deeply involved in not only the event production, but also ACE’s fundraising process, including adopting a new Client Relationship Management (CRM) system.

In close collaboration with Hoopla, ACE has moved the fundraising needle by 200% since pre-pandemic.
