Fundraising Stars

Jeff led a group of volunteers and Y staff in honest, productive conversations about King, his legacy, the needs of the community and what the annual event should accomplish. The group eventually agreed to move away from a single breakfast event that gave attendees a "feel good" but did little to call them to put into action the values of service at the core of the Y and of King himself. Instead, a multipronged effort was planned that would engage thousands of community members and support the Y in providing high-quality programming to underserved families.
