Here what Jim Everett from Treasure Valley Family YMCA has to say about their Online Auction Experience
Thursday, December 17th, 2009
Our on-line auction of a ride with Gold Medal Olympian, Kristin Armstrong, was our first venture into this type of fund raising. I can assure you it won’t be our last. Kristin Armstrong has been a great friend of the Y and has been extraordinarily generous with her time and willingness to help us to raise funds for our Strong Kids Campaign. For a number of years she has offered an indoor cycling class to raise money called Armstrong for Strong Kids. While this has been a successful event and well attended, it was very labor intensive, in moving bikes for all of our Y’s to the Downtown Y and a lot of work for Kristin. This first year event, was so much less work for all and will net at least $2000 more than ever before. Of course we could not do this without our wonderful friend, Kristin Armstrong, who is so dedicated to our Y and to seeing that less advantaged kids have the opportunities to experience all the Y has to offer. We could not do this without, you either, Kristi. Through Auction Frogs we reached a whole new audience with our message and tapped into potential new sources of fund raising support. Your counsel and guidance made this very effective and remarkably easy. We cannot thank you enough. We will be a long term customer! Thanks for helping us to build strong kids, strong families and strong communities! Jim Everett CEO | Treasure Valley Family YMCA
