FUNDRAISING
SUCCESSFUL AND INNOVATIVE FUNDRAISING
Beginning in 1999 my service to Scouting has been largely in the Fundraising and Development area. I have been blessed to work with numerous committed volunteer teams over these past eighteen years. Together we have been able to raise millions of dollars to support the Character Education programs of Scouting. Successful and innovative campaigns have included FOS, Major Gifts, Endowment, Auctions, Dinners, Luncheons, Popcorn Sales, Sporting Clays Events, Golf Events and Receptions.
