This afternoon I attended a meeting with the building leaders on the subject of the Central Ohio YMCA’s annual giving campaign. A representative from the Metropolitan Staff came to give a presentation to the staff and outline some of the new technology the YMCA began using this year. Andrew Roberts, Central Ohio YMCA President, also visited and spoke with the staff about the importance of the annual campaign. This year, in combination with the YMCA’s People Helping People giving program, the YMCA is launching Champions for a Cause. Individuals within the YMCA community are encouraged to become Champions for their branch. By sharing their success stories they are able to reach out to others and help
contribute to the success of their YMCA branch.
I was encouraged to hear some of Andrew’s personal success stories and understand how the annual giving campaign supports the many programs and community outreach offered by the YMCA. Everyone that attended the meeting worked through the steps to set up a “Champions Page” and establish a personal fundraising goal. The discussed some of the ways they would reach out to the Delaware members and recruit more Champions to help support the cause. It was very interesting to see the fundraising challenges of a non-profit organization and discuss the various ways to make the most impact within a community
