Sioux Falls, SD · Nonprofit dads' club
Sioux Falls Stroll Club
A home base for a fast-growing dads-and-kids club: events, RSVPs with spot limits, sponsors, and a back office that runs the whole thing.
We built this one for free for the club.

The problem
The Stroll Club started in April 2025 as a monthly meetup for dads and their kids. Local TV and news picked it up, and it grew faster than a social media page, Google Forms, and a shared spreadsheet could keep up with.
The board needed one place to post events, take RSVPs, cap spots when a venue fills up, thank sponsors, and keep track of the City permits and insurance that come with public events. And as a volunteer-run nonprofit, it had to cost next to nothing to run.
What we built
- Events calendar and event pages with one-tap RSVP, spot limits and time slots, a live "spots filled" bar, and a waitlist that emails people automatically when a spot opens up
- A first-timer step built into RSVP that covers the club's terms, risk, and photo notice
- Automatic emails: RSVP confirmation, a day-before reminder, a thank-you with a 30-second poll, and a welcome series for new dads
- Sponsor, press, donate, and contact pages, with newsletter sign-ups flowing straight into the club's newsletter
- A private board back office: an event pipeline with a City permit countdown, a 12-month planning view, an iPad check-in kiosk for walk-ins, and RSVP lists that export to a spreadsheet
- A library of 48 pre-planned walking routes with maps, plus simple tools to track sponsors, grants, and members
- Accessibility fixes and an accessibility statement, search-friendly setup, and a privacy-friendly visit counter with no ad trackers
- Built on free tiers, so it runs for about the cost of its domain



The result
The site went live September 4, 2026. In its first seven weeks, 50 people RSVP'd through it and 17 events went up. When a night fills up, the site caps it and runs the waitlist so the board doesn't have to.
The board now has one place to plan events, track City permits, take RSVPs, and check families in, instead of Google Forms and a shared spreadsheet.
