Congratulations to the 2018 top fundraisers
By SANDY MANISCALCO
There are individuals and groups who have always gone above and beyond and given more than 100 percent in fundraising efforts: they host events, they run promotions, they walk as individuals and they establish walk teams.
Over the years, we have acknowledged these heroes at our annual meetings, in our annual reports and through our social media network.
In 2016 we realized we probably needed to do more. And while we have always prided ourselves on taking time to say, “thank you”, we also saw a need to publicize the individuals and groups who raise thousands of dollars on our behalf. Where better to do that than on our website!
In 2016 we established a new tab on our website entitled, Top Fundraisers. Using the Olympic medals as a metaphor, we organized our groups into the following categories: Gold Medal – $10,000 and above; Silver Medal -$5,000 – $9,999; and Bronze Medal – $2,500 – $4,999
