Senior Design Team sdmay21-08 • Cow Chips 4 Charity

The Boo Radley foundation is a non-profit organization created to promote research for diseases that are common to humans and animals. Being a non-profit organization, funding for the organization is acquired through donations and events. One of the most important events for funding is CowChips4Charity. CowChips4Charity is currently held as an in-person fundraising event, where participants select one of many squares in a pasture. If the cow roaming the field selects a participant’s square, they win, and are given a prize. Any funds collected during this event contribute to The Boo Radley Foundation charity. Presently, while beloved as a state fair event, CowChips4Charity lacks the outreach it could have to acquire more funding for the charity. On top of this, the current need for drones (and other management equipment) ends up costing a sizable amount, lessening the total funds used for the charity.

To reach a wider audience and cut down on unnecessary expenditure, we seek to create a fully functional digital version of CowChips4Charity. To create this digital version, we plan on expanding the existing codebase with features such as an animated UI, accessible menus for a wider audience, analytics for donations and site traffic, as well as running a web service with virtually non-existent maintenance costs.
