Capital Campaign
The Campaign for Arc: A Partnership for the Future
Thanks to the generous donors who made our capital campaign a resounding success, The Arc Greater Twin Cities
will be here for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families for generations to come.
The Campaign for Arc: A Partnership for the Future surpassed its $3.5 million goal by raising a total of $4,480,000
in gifts and pledges. The campaign was an intensive effort led by Board Treasurer John Kelly of UnitedHealth
Group, aided by a dedicated team of staff and volunteers.
The campaign’s purpose is to make The Arc more financially self-sustaining by supporting the growth of its
Arc’s Value Village Thrift Stores & Donation Centers, which generate more than half of the funding for The Arc’s
programs and services. The capital campaign has already made a tremendous impact:
n
2009: Value Village St. Paul opens
n
2011: Value Village Brooklyn Center upgrades its facilities
n
2012/2013: Value Village Richfield expands and upgrades its site
n
2013: Value Village New Hope to expand significantly with new building addition
n
2013: Scouting underway for location of fifth store
The campaign’s successful completion is the beginning of a new era for Arc’s Value Village: more shoppers, more
donors and more volunteers, all coming together so that people with disabilities and their families can have a
good life.

“I said ‘yes’ to Arc’s capital campaign because Arc’s Value Village stores have a huge
impact on what Arc is able to do for people with disabilities. Arc provides guidance and
advocacy throughout the journey from childhood to transition age to adulthood. It has
also been so instrumental in bringing people together to educate legislators, which has
helped to retain funding, valuable programs and resources for people with disabilities. I
believe in Arc and what Arc means to so many people, and what it will mean to future
generations.”

“When we moved here in 1985, I wanted to get involved in the community. I was
intrigued by The Arc because I have a sister with developmental disabilities. I served on
the board and several committees, and my wife Cheryl now volunteers with The Arc
Gala. We also give our financial support. We’re impressed by the passion of the people
at The Arc and the work they do. When you’re raising or supporting a person with
disabilities, you don’t know where to turn. The Arc is there for everyone.”

“My mom sought advocacy and information from Arc when my brother was a teen.
Now I am his guardian, and I contacted Arc Greater Twin Cities for help in meeting his
needs. I know The Arc makes a difference in people’s lives because they made a huge
difference in ours. I’ve chosen to leave a percentage of my estate to The Arc Greater
Twin Cities because Arc has served my family for nearly 50 years, and I want to ensure
that other families can have this same opportunity.”

“The Sexual Violence Center considers The Arc a
leader in the disability community, and we look
to them for guidance in serving victims who
have disabilities. The Arc participates on our
sexual assault multi-disciplinary action response
teams in Hennepin and Carver counties, and
they help train our sexual assault advocates.
They are working to bring the voices of abuse
victims to the forefront, and that’s important
because we believe that the victim is the best
expert on their own experience.”

“After over 12 years with The Arc Greater Twin Cities’ and its
predecessors’ Board of Directors, I thought it was time for me to
move on, but I wanted to stay involved at the local level. I was
honored to be named the national liaison on the Board of Arc
Greater Twin Cities, which keeps me rooted in the local chapter
while serving on The Arc US Board. Working with chapters
from across the country, I see how different we all are. But we
all share a commitment to achieving social justice and a better
quality of life for the people we serve, and that commitment
keeps The Arc moving forward. It’s very rewarding.”

“Although we don’t have a family member with a disability, we
have donated to and shopped at Value Village for decades and
former Arc president Paul Van Valkenberg is a friend of mine.
So after I retired, Value Village seemed like a great place to give
back to the community through volunteering. I believe in Arc’s
mission and I like the people, both paid staff and volunteers.
I’ve had many good times with them over the past 13 years.”
