 CITY EMPLOYEES BRING IN A BANNER YEAR
| |
When the City of Colorado Springs set its sites on increasing its campaign this year, they did it straight across the board - and with flair.
Donor participation saw a 150% increase with Human Resources and Finance sporting 100% support. In addition, Leaders in Giving rose 113% and volunteer hours jumped to a record 3,073 compared to 1,1103 last year.
 What created the overall excitement that caused a 119% rise in total campaign pledges? Perhaps it was the wide array of food for sale or the colorful flamingoes... but the birds aren't talking!

A MAN WITH A VISION | |
 When it comes to Pikes Peak United Way, JE Dunn's Senior Project Manager Matt Vineyard brings a visionary insight to all he undertakes.
Spearheading an effort this year to revitalize the Summit Society, composed of donors contributing $1,000 to $9,999 annually, Matt has not only facilitated increased participation in the group but also increased donor recognition, especially for those who stepped up their gift or became a new member.
A veteran allocations volunteer and campaign coordinator, he has likewise acted as a team lead for several years, aiding community volunteers in navigating PPUW's funding process to ensure optimum impact.
