Hi Fellow Organizers,
Being an organizer geek, I'm signed up to some non-local email blasts to learn what other communities are doing. (Maybe we should each share our sign-ups so we can join each other's lists???)
Anyway ---> I was totally blown away by a recent e-blast from Belfast Flying Shoes.
They are running a $15K fundraiser for their 15th anniversary. It sounds so super inspiring.
From the outside, it seems like it's not only accomplishing a lot of really great programming goals but that that the fundraiser will likely create a stronger community overall by pulling folks together. Seems welllll designed. :)
Also reminds me that Portland Maine has run some similarly amazing fundraiser campaigns. Maybe there's something in the Maine water???? ;)
Admiring from afar.
