We have freed up team time to focus on growing our volunteer base and providing
concise communication.
When our events come online, people register in mass, overloading the Wrapper. I've
been impressed with how quickly Sidekick Solutions has given attention to correcting
this and getting us back online.
Sidekick Solutions has taken our needs and found efficient and timely solutions to
keep us moving forward and focused on mission and people.
