FUNdraising For Quarter: 2nd Quarter

As the 2nd Quarter begins to come to an end, the FUNdraising for Quarters competition for 2nd quarter is fastly approaching its conclusion. During this quarter we have had several volunteers step and really get the word out about Cabrini Connections and work towards getting donations for the program in various ways.

Thanks to our GIS Mapping Coordinator Mike Trakan and to a Cabrini Connections supporter Jason Phillips, we have our FUNdraising For Quarters prizes for the 2nd Quarter. This quarter we will be giving out a package for 2 for a wine tasting event courtesy of the Webster's Wine Bar and a 3-month FREE Family Membership to the Lakeshore Athletic Club.

Our current FUNdraising leader for the 2nd Quarter is Mary Catherine Nelson at $1630 was able to spread the Cabrini Connections' word to her coworkers around the Christmas holidays and as a result she was able to bring in the total mentioned to the Cabrini Connections' program so that we can continue to provide the services that our students deserve.

Thursday night mentor Ilser Aleem, as part of her job with Wrigley, is working towards getting a cash donation for the program because of the volunteer hours she has provided here at Cabrini Connections. Ilser has also gone one step further with working towards bringing in more donations to the program by putting together a 'Spare Change' drive in which all of the change that is collected from a group in her network will be donated to Cabrini Connections!

Here are a few of the many ways in which the Cabrini Connections' volunteers are spreading the word about Cabrini Connections and all that we do within our program, and as a result of their efforts donations are being provided. Here are a couple more ways in which the volunteers, staff, and other supporters and fans of Cabrini Connections can spread the word and bring in the financial support needed in order for our students, volunteers, and the overall program to be successful in the near and far future.
