Hallmark star Ben Rosenbaum made the most of a recent Sunday by raising nearly $20,000 during a charity event. The “When Calls the Heart” star shared the details in an Instagram post on April 1.
Ben Rosenbaum Raised Over $18,000 to Benefit the Multiple Sclerosis Society
Rosenbaum shared a video on his Instagram page that showed him at a charity event for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. He explained, “The @walk_ms on Sunday was a success! Thank you so much to everyone who donated to the @mssociety!”
He revealed, “With your help I was able to raise over $18,000 towards ending MS!”
The video that Rosenbaum included in his post showed him with his dog Willoughby having a blast at the event. He used the Katrina and the Waves song “Walking on Sunshine” to accompany the video montage of highlights from the charity walk.
“Willoughby and I are so overwhelmed by your support and generosity. It makes me so happy to be a part of the #Hearties community!”
The Hallmark Star Gave Fans Big Incentives to Get Involved With His Fundraising Efforts
Rosenbaum worked hard on his fundraising efforts to achieve his grand total of $18,000. In February, he posted several original, signed paintings he was offering as prizes on Instagram.
In a separate Instagram post, he explained, “Every $20 donated equals 1 raffle ticket and I will raffle off these 3 portraits to 3 lucky winners at the end of the fundraiser.”
A mid-March update from Rosenbaum via Instagram indicated the fundraising was going well. He revealed, “I have increased my fundraising goal to $15,000,” and he upped the ante with a new incentive for fans.
Fans helped him hit his higher goal just five days later. He noted that fellow “When Calls the Heart” star Kevin McGarry donated, pushing him over the finish line.
In his post updating everybody on the walk, he noted, “I will conduct the raffle and reach out to winners in the coming months and announce it on this page. Thank you 18,000 times!”
He credited his partner and fellow “When Calls the Heart” co-star Erin Krakow with the stellar videography work.
Fans had plenty to say about it all in the comment section of Rosenbaum’s post.
“Great camera work! Willoughby really stole the show 😂🧡,” one fan gushed.
“This is amazing. Congratulations on exceeding your goal ❤️🙌🏼👏🏼,” commented another fan.
Someone else added, “Congrats Ben!! Adore that Willoughby was in on the fun too!”
