Children’s Mercy Hospital Kansas City (CMH) is nationally recognized for delivering high-quality, compassionate pediatric care. The hospital is a non-profit that relies on donors to operate and provide world-class care for its patients.
Through a digital agency partner, we worked with CMH to turn an innovative donation campaign concept into reality. The birthday party donation hub allowed parents to organize their children’s birthday parties using donations in place of gifts from party attendees.

As part of this process, we conducted multiple walkthroughs of the wireframes with the development team to fully map out functional requirements.
Through our contributions, the project launched successfully on time and budget despite many challenges, including:
