Greetings!
|
|
Over the course of the past
few months, ECM has shared a few of our big goals for the
year: 1) providing incredible volunteer experiences,
2) growing in your understanding of ECM, and 3)
digging deeper. This month, we have a few specific goals that were shared
during our recent spring kick-off (see the picture below).
- 10 new groups in 2012
- 3,333+ volunteers in 2012
- 40 Extreme Teams
members in 2012
- Growth in depth
We are starting to make
headway in each area, but would like to invite you to be part of the process of
helping us reach our goals this year. Read on for more info about how you can
do that in a variety of ways.

Spring Kick-Off Fundraiser

Thank you to everyone who attended our spring kick-off fundraiser

different aspects of ECM that resonate most with people. What would you add to
this vision board?

Monthly

giving options are to the right. Just $10 per month supports 1 project, while
$100 per month supports 10 projects each year. Sign up here.

you would prefer to support something specific, these options include:
- Brochures ($325)
- Insurance ($1,350)
