# Events overview

> Plan galas, 5Ks, town halls, and auctions—sell tickets, collect RSVPs, and track every dollar in one place.

The **Events** module runs your fundraising occasions end to end—from a draft to a published registration page, through ticket sales and RSVPs, to a final tally of what you raised and spent.

<Note>
  Events is an optional module. If you don't see **Events** in the sidebar, it isn't enabled for your organization or your role doesn't include access. An administrator can turn it on.
</Note>

## The events library

Open **Events** in the sidebar to see your library, grouped by where each event is in its life. Each card shows quick metrics—**Sold**, **Gross**, **Expenses**, and **Net**.

## Inside an event

Open any event to find tabs for **Overview**, **Ticketing**, **Registrants**, **Emails**, and **Public page**—plus optional tabs for **Sponsors**, **Expenses**, **Auction**, and **Volunteers** when you turn those on. The Overview tab gives you a KPI strip, a short "story so far," and a recommended next step.
