Reach for the Stars!

Ray also is known in the fundraising sector as a donor of time and money to causes he holds dear. He sits on the board of a Catholic secondary school and has been a formal and informal advisor to a number of local Catholic charities.

We’re honoring Ray here for his enduring attitude that fundraisers need to live the art and act of fundraising — rather than just work it — and embrace a philanthropic lifestyle and charitable heart. And also because we know he’s created a working atmosphere at CDR that nurtures risk and creativity, as well as integrity and longevity. Both reasons signify a style of leadership that holds the nonprofit sector to a higher standard than its for-profit counterparts and increasingly helps secure both donor and public trust.
