25 for 25 Challenge Raises $95,690!

Thank you to all of our committed volunteer and generous donors for making the 25 for 25 Challenge a success!

From April 1 – July 31 we challenged our donors, volunteers, Board Members, staff and friends to inspire 25 or more of their friends & contacts to donate a multiple of $25 to the 25th Anniversary Capital Campaign.

We are delighted to announce that you helped us raise $47,845 from over 530 donors! With a matching gift from a generous donor, we raised just under $95,700 total!

Throughout the four month Challenge, our deeply committed volunteers and dedicated staff members engaged in good-natured competition to raise vital funds and awareness for Deborah’s Place. We are so humbled by the enormous support we gained from current and new fundraisers and donors.

All the funds raised in the 25 for 25 Challenge will support the 25th Anniversary Capital Campaign to Fund Continuity and Growth. Although the Challenge is complete, the Capital Campaign will continue through 2012. Donations to the Capital Campaign are always welcome, and we invite you to attend one of our upcoming campaign Coffees and Tours, where you and your friends can experience an in-depth, first hand look at our buildings and our work.
