And the winner is…

I’m excited to announce the winners of our “Where’s Kent?” contest from this year’s Association of Fundraising Professionals International Conference in San Antonio.  The response was overwhelming, with 248 entries from 41 states, six Canadian provinces, and seven other countries!  We drew eight business cards at random to select the winners:

1. Arlene Gagliardo from the Julie Billiart School
2. Derek Bechthold from the Calgary Police Foundation
3. Carter Stone from the Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center
4. Valerie Tamez from the San Antonio Academy of Texas
5. Barbara Martin from Habitat for Humanity
6. Amy Brand from the Bethesda Hospital Foundation
7. Jeanean South from the Salvation Army
8. Margo Hatton from the University of Colorado 

Arlene gets a personalized copy of Asking About Asking, Second Edition. Derek, Carter, Valerie, Amy, and Barbara won ‘Big’ prizes.  Jeanean claimed the ‘Huge’ prize. And Margo got the ‘Grand’ prize. It was my joy to call the winners and deliver the good news.  If you know any of these winners, I hope you’ll convey your good wishes by sending them a note as well. 

My purpose for the entire promotion was to introduce a wider audience to the Asking Academy.  We’re reaching out to even more charitable organizations with our cutting edge solutions for reaching new highs in fundraising.

The Spring Academy just began, but we’re accepting applications for the Summer and Fall sessions right now.  In the meantime, here’s to reaching new heights in your fundraising endeavors!

Sincerely,

Kent Stroman, CFRE
