2013-annual-report - Northwest Ohio Community Shares
Northwest Ohio Community Shares Annual Report 2013 When a small group of community leaders saw a need for a democratically led federation to raise money on behalf of small, grassroots nonprofits, little did they know what a dynamic group it would be 15 years later. Thanks to our corporate partners, member agencies and dedicated volunteers, Community Shares is able to mark its fifteenth anniversary. Partners for Clean Streams participated in its first Community Shares workplace campaign in Fall 2012. They approached the campaign with maximum enthusiasm and made a significant number of in-person presentations. In March 2013, our member agencies voted to accept Bethany House, a domestic violence shelter, for the Fall 2013 Campaign. Unfortunately, we had to say goodbye to Family Promise, as they made a decision to dedicate their efforts to reorganizing their operations. Our Fall 2012 Campaign saw a record number of workplace presentations, with an increase in pledged totals from $177,845 to $194,300. Bowling Green State University invited us to participate in the President’s Leadership Breakfast 3% and Campaign Kickoff. The results were tremendous, as giving at BGSU rose from $11,000 to $15,000! The State of Ohio Combined Charitable Campaign saw our largest number ever of agencies included, and giving rose from $32,500 to $44,000. Thanks to the hard work of many, many people, we saw a tremendous giving year. We also experienced a phenomenal fundraising year. Our 3rd Annual Share-a-Glass event netted over $4,200, which was 40% over our goal. Our 2nd Annual Share Our Dreams netted a record-breaking $17,000, which was 44% over our goal. A key component of that success is our new partnership with Toledo Harley-Davidson, who donated the venue. Harley has also become a year-round partner and has offered us and our member agencies many other fundraising opportunities. In December, we began reaching out to non-workplace supporters with our year-end Friends of Community Shares appeal. We got off to a great start this year, with the help of our Board, and hope to develop this into a significant source of operational support in years to come. 2% CONTRIBUTIONS MEMBERSHIP DUES FUNDRAISING REVENUE Contributions $229,720 Fundraising $28,970 Membership Dues $8,210 Interest $129 Total $267,029 We thank you all for our continued success.

Some hungry bidders won a dinner for 6 at a Toledo Firehouse cooked by the firefighters, and in their own home by Chef Reggie Hall. One art fan commissioned a portrait by Joseph Angelo. Two footloose bidders won a New Rider Course from Harley-Davidson and a one-week condo stay in Florida. Our third Share-A-Glass event was a rousing success, raising over $4,200 toward operating expenses for our annual agency Campaign. We were able to raise a glass in thanks to our workplace coordinators for all the effort and time they put into the Campaign, as well as generous event sponsors UAW Local 14 and Heidelberg Distributing. Over 200 guests enjoyed the evening, including lovely piano music provided by Matthew Chambers, a resident artist with the Collingwood Arts Center. The highlight of the event was the presentation of the Robert Brundage Award to Sue Carter, a long-time Board member and past President of the ACLU. In addition to her many other activities, Sue was recognized for her 20-year career at the University of Toledo Medical Center dedicated to serving people living with AIDS, HIV, and cancer in northwest Ohio. Community Shares partnered with our newest sponsor, Toledo HarleyDavidson, to host our signature annual fundraiser at their showroom on West Central Avenue. Over 200 people were in attendance at this year’s event which featured an inaugural Celebrity Auction and a night of fun celebrating the talent our community has to offer. Malena Caruso of 13abc stepped up as our Volunteer Auctioneer, granting the highest bidders the experience of personally interacting with celebrities from northwest Ohio. Sports fans vied to coach the University of Toledo Women’s Basketball Team, the Men’s Football Team, eat dinner at Hollywood Casino with University of Michigan Football walk-on sensation Jordan Kovacs, and hit the links in style with PGA Golf Pro Jaysen Hansen at the Belmont Country Club. Show business fans got to DJ for a Day with the 92.5 Morning Rush and take a Behind-the- 3rd Annual Share-A-Glass Photo 1 : Pan Tansey and Sue Rodgers of UAW Local 14 2nd Annual Share Our Dreams Photo 2 : Sue Carter & Mike Bell with Robert Brundage portrait Many people and organizations came together to make this event a huge success. Volunteer Tony Schmenk of the Vincent Alan Creative Group made our marketing stand out when he designed a new event logo and printed materials for the event. The Glass City Rollers helped us skate to success with our first $1,000 Cash Raffle and Live Auction. Lynn Brand made the space beautiful and Shannon Syzperski photographed the results.¬ Everyone rocked out to the music provided by Bobby May, John Barile, Frankie May and Danny Jahns. Of course, none of this would have been possible without the amazing leadership of Dawn Christen and her very hard-working Development Committee. And our special thanks also go out to major event sponsors IBEW Local 8, Robbie Weinberg, and Gallon, Takacs, Boissoneault & Schaffer! WE ALL SHARE IN MAKING THE DIFFERENCE!
