Charity Campaign
It is the duty of the Charity Campaign Committee to oversee all aspects of fundraising for the YWC including phone banks, patron cards, and the charity ball.
To accomplish our mission of serving our community via funding from our Charity Campaign, each member and member-elect must fulfill a charity campaign requirement. This can be done in one of three ways:
- Solicit a donation of $35 or more from three new sources. Think of family members, corporations, neighbors or friends wanting to support our community.
- Solicit a donation of $35 or more from three sources who have given to the YWC in the past.
- Work a phone bank. Spend two hours with YWC friends calling past contributors and encouraging them to continue their support of our good work.
- Donate online:
