Kennesaw, GA and Fort Lauderdale, FL, (January 12th, 2026) — Arreva, a leading provider of online fundraising and donor relationship management solutions with one unified database, announced today its third strategic acquisition, LIFE Event Staffing. Driven by client demand, the acquisition expands Arreva’s ability to provide nonprofits with everything they need through one trusted partner—combining powerful, all-in-one software and experienced event staffing—so organizations no longer need to manage multiple vendors to execute successful fundraising and events.
Founded by Susan Packard Orr and David Blyer, Arreva has built one of the nonprofit industry’s most powerful online fundraising and donor relationship management platforms. Its flagship solution, ExceedFurther, brings together donor CRM, online donations and pledges, event registration, peer-to-peer and team fundraising, grant and campaign management, volunteer and guest registration, text-based giving, and live and silent auction bidding, all fully integrated within one unified database. This integrated approach enables nonprofits to automate workflows, eliminate data silos, and communicate more effectively, while driving stronger donor acquisition, retention, and stewardship.
Continuing this mission, Arreva has acquired LIFE Event Staffing, a highly reputable global auction staffing company founded by Lauren Batterby. Batterby will remain as the President of LIFE Event Staffing to continue delivering exceptional client service while supporting the company’s continued growth and expansion nationwide.
“With this acquisition, we continue to deliver on our all-in-one strategy, giving our clients a single source for online fundraising, donor relationship management, event registration and management, auction software, and now professional staffing services for auction events,” said Susan Packard Orr, Co-founder of Arreva. “By providing one company for all nonprofit fundraising needs, we make nonprofit fundraising simpler, more efficient, and more effective for our clients.”
David Blyer, Co-founder of Arreva, added, “Our goal has always been to simplify nonprofit fundraising and operations by providing a true all-in-one solution. By bringing LIFE Event Staffing together with ExceedFurther, we’re giving our clients everything they need through one partner, so they can focus on what matters most: building lasting relationships with their supporters and growing their impact.”
Lauren Batterby, President of LIFE Event Staffing, emphasized the shared vision behind the acquisition. “As we looked at how to grow and better support our clients, Arreva stood out as the strongest partner. By combining our event staffing expertise with Arreva’s technology and cross-selling opportunities, we’re delivering a true all-in-one approach that positions our clients for long-term fundraising success.”
LIFE Event Staffing will continue its growth trajectory, now enhanced by Arreva’s innovative software platform, allowing expanded reach and support for nonprofit organizations across the United States.
