Elevating the Guest and Donor Experience with GiveSmart

Unbridled is excited to announce an important step forward in how we serve our guests, donors, and sponsors. We are transitioning from our current auction and ticketing system, OneCause/BidPal, to GiveSmart, a more modern and intuitive platform that will make every part of the Unbridled experience easier, faster, and more personal. 

This change is about people, not just technology. With GiveSmart, guests will enjoy seamless mobile biddingquick and easy check-in and check-out, and real-time updates on auction items and donations. Donors and sponsors will have clearer visibility into their impact and a more personalized experience from registration to thank-you messages. 

Key improvements include: 
• Streamlined Event Access – Faster check-in, barcode scanning, and digital tickets. 
• Mobile Bidding and Giving – Easy-to-use tools for guests at the event or joining from afar. 
• Unified Guest Profiles – One record that connects ticketing, bidding, and donations. 
• Custom Branding and Messaging – Every touchpoint reflects the Unbridled experience. 

Our team is working closely with GiveSmart to ensure a smooth transition ahead of the 2026 event season. Training, tutorials, and support will be shared before the rollout, so every guest and partner can enjoy the benefits from day one. 

This investment reflects our ongoing commitment to innovation and exceptional hospitality. As Unbridled grows, our goal remains the same—to make every experience effortless, meaningful, and truly unforgettable.
