40th Anniversary Fundraising Results: $94,300!
March 22, 2010
Dear YA alumni,
Many thanks to so many of you who have contributed to the YAs!!
I am excited to provide you all with a summary of our fundraising efforts the past 30 days – here are some details:
- Almost 200 YA alumni gave donations to the YAs – providing gifts of all sizes, a number of which were significant gift amounts
- Over 5 YA groups have fully funded their group plaques by collectively contributing to the $1,000 target
- In just 30 days, your collective contributions totaled … drumroll please … $94,300!! That is an average of over $3,000 a day and the highest contribution activity of any organization at BYU in the first quarter of this year!!
- With the generous match contributions of Josh/Cherie James, the above fundraising amount will grow to be a significant contribution to the YAs and will make a huge impact on current and future YA operations
Congratulations and thank you all for your remarkable generosity in contributing to the Young Ambassadors! What an amazing show of support for the Young Ambassadors! And a special thanks to Josh and Cherie James for providing an incredible match incentive to significantly increase the impact of our collective donations!
For all YA group presidents: we still have over 35 YA groups that have more fundraising to do in order to meet the $1,000 donation amount per group in order to have the plaque made for your group. We appreciate your continued efforts to reach out to your group members and encourage them to donate. Our goal is to have all 40 years of YA groups with plaques hanged on the “YA Wall of Fame” at Richards Building by the end of 2010!!
For all YAs, while we have concluded the 30-day fundraising effort, our fundraising efforts continue and we appreciate your continued donations to the YAs. We hope that you will all consider making donations to the YAs a consistent and ongoing part of your giving efforts in the future.
Thanks again, and we look forward to your continued support of the YAs for many years to come!
Best,
Eric McAllister
Fundraising Chairman
