It’s Thank-you Thursday and we want to give a shout-out to everyone who participated in the December 1, 2015 #OregoniansGive on #GivingTuesday campaign by checking out our website (2511 people visited our site via Facebook posts and ads, Twitter posts, and email solicitations), giving or joining CUB, and sending us your #Unselfies.
CUB staff joined the fun at 7:00am at the #OregoniansGive kick-off event hosted by OMSI, where we were joined by Portland Mayor Charlie Hales and his wife Nancy, Mascots from both the Portland Trail Blazers and the Portland Timbers, the Rose City Rollers roller derby team, and the Portland UniPiper who regaled us with his bagpipes! We ended the event with a group #UnSelfie under the OMSI sign. (See photo above - Andie Petkus Photography.) It was a great start to a great day.
Speaking of great days! #GivingTuesday was a great one for us! We are pleased to announce that we surpassed our fundraising goal by 34%. We also had more donors than we had hoped for, larger average gifts - by about 7% - than we anticipated, and a respectable, if not huge, number of new donors. We added to the fun during the day by drawing for coffee cards and a Made in Oregon Card, and a 2-night stay at a Newport beach-side getaway (see list of prize winners below). Let it be known - Oregonians DO give on #GivingTuesday.
In addition to our generous #GivingTuesday donors, I also want to extend my thanks to the staff of Willamette Valley Development Officers, who provided lots of resources and guidance to CUB as well as many other local nonprofits in the run-up to this campaign. I also want to thank #OregoniansGive sponsors Cambia Health Solutions, The Standard, Bank of America, Meyer Memorial Trust, and others who supported Oregon nonprofits by funding the #OregoniansGive website and marketing resources.
If you did not have the time to participate on #GivingTuesday it is not too late! You can join CUB now for as little as $5. If you join at the Anniversary Club level of $100 you can attend our January AC Gathering to be held at our office, where I will be on hand to talk with you about what is on the horizon for CUB in 2016. Click here to make your year-end donation or renew your membership.
In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this holiday season, however you choose to celebrate!
In appreciation,
Bob Jenks
