Each One, Reach One. Create your own fund raising event.

Each One, Reach One, is the fund raising strategy of Cabrini Connections. If each of our volunteers, students, alumni and leaders just reached out to one person and recruited them to be a donor, we'd dramatacally increase the flow of resources and the stability of our organization.

Did you know that you can raise money for Cabrini Connections by running in a marathon, or by celebrating a birthday, or special event? This graphic shows the Cabrini group page at http://www.giveforward.org/CabriniTMC/. This is a web platform that enables anyone to create a fund raising event, and to ask friends, co-workers and family to give their support.



Nicole White and Nick Infusino have used http://www.firstgiving.com/nicolewhite3 to ask friends to support them as they run the Chicago Marathon. Their goal is to raise $2,000 for Cabrini Connections. Nicole and Nick have sent 50 letters and countless emails to friends and family, and already some are responding with donations of $24 to $104.

We have more than 90 active volunteers every year, with more than 300 alumni volunteers receiving this email every two weeks. More than 500 people are in our Facebook group. More than 800 adults have been tutors/mentors since 1993. More than 500 teens have been involved for one to 7 years in Cabrini Connections. We're connected to many more who were part of the Montgomery Ward program as far back as 1973.

This is an army. We just need to find a way to release its full energy, with many individuals and groups organizing events that raise $100 to $1000 to help us pay the bills and keep Cabrini Connections, Tutor/Mentor Connection in business for the coming year.

Please do all you can to find people in your family, work, alumni and social network who will make donations or become benefactors. This makes it possible for others to be volunteers.
