Recently,
we met several members of “Mended Little Hearts” – Mended Little Hearts is a
support program for parents of children with heart defects and heart disease,
is dedicated to inspiring hope in those who care for the littlest heart
patients of all. Mended Little Hearts offers resources and a caring support
network as families find answers and move forward to find healing and hope. For families with children who live with
heart defects and disease, Mended Little Hearts is a support network providing
education, advocacy, awareness, and outreach.
While
speaking with them, I learned just how they are doing to help these beautiful
angels and their families. However, it
was surprising to learn just how hard of a time they are having successfully
fundraising. That is why we, BW
Unlimited Charity Fundraising, threw our collective hats in the ring.
This
portion is directly to those who are involved with Mended Little Hearts:
I
would like to introduce myself and my company.
My name is George Wooden, President/Founder & Owner of BW Unlimited
Charity Fundraising. We are proudly a
North American Charity Fundraising leader in a convenient “One Stop Shop”
setting. We help well over 1,400
charities each year by either providing them auction items and with a select
few, we help them plan, manage and host large scale, charity fundraising events
which are “EXTREMELY” successful – not only financially but by growing support.
After
meeting with several people involved, I realize that you may be nervous about
stepping out of your comfort zone and allowing us to help you. It’s scary, we understand…however without
risk, there is no reward. We have never
hosted an event which has failed. At
this point, we pick and choose who we help.
In
terms of reality, you are being asked to fundraise without any training,
education or a background on how to properly fundraise. You are unaware of the national fundraising trends,
you are unaware of why people donate or how to attract large sponsors.
You
are living full time lives, with full time commitments, a full time job with a
full time family – then you are a fundraiser.
With that being said, if you are untrained, could you also be a doctor,
lawyer, home builder? In a time when successful
fundraising is vital to your overall success, shouldn’t you have help?
We
would be lying if we said the economy is great once again. Charities are unaware of the challenges they
phase when it comes to fundraising.
Competition for the “Almighty Dollar” is stiff – there are currently 104
Million U.S. Non Profits all fighting over exact same dollar!!!
Fundraising
today is strategic and sadly said, successful fundraising today has little to
do with the actual charity trying to raise funds. It’s about the package, the event and what
you are going to provide the donor. With
so many charities screaming “Please donate to me”, how do you get above the
crowd noise and attract large scale donors or host large scale events?
Most
of the largest fundraising events across North America is actually our
company. We have raised Millions across
the United States for Charities and are growing each year.
Ask
yourself this simple question – what did you last fundraising event
profit? Profit, not Gross, actual
profit? How long did it take you to plan
that event? How many people were
involved in the planning? Then take that
number, divide it by the months it took to plan it, then divide again by the
amount of people, then again by the number of months….would you work for
that?
The
facts are this: The beginning of
successful fundraising across North America is $100.00 a head, Net. That means if you had 300 people at your
event or participating, you should have made at the very least $30,000.00. BW Unlimited Charity Fundraising normally
does 1.8 to 2.5 times the national norm.
We
will help you plan an incredible event, be there through it all. Help you completely sell out a venue for your
event, teach you how to get large scale financial sponsors and grow your
charity. We will be on site for your
event to manage and run it. At the end
of the day, you will profit more than you could possibly dream of. We have proven this time and time again with
our 100’s of clients – go to our website “Testimonials” page and watch the
video testimonials.
We
help you every step of the way, taking away 95% of the work while guiding you
around the pitfalls. During the planning
stage, we are available to you 24/7. We
will attend meetings while giving you guidance.
We provide everything for the event itself. We will train you on how to sell a massive
amount of tickets and get donations. We
will help you get major financial sponsors and then, plan and put on an event
that everyone will rave about.
A
person with no background in fundraising should not be expected to know how to
fundraise – we are the experts in this field.
We
understand you may be scared, because in the end, you represent children. I understand because my very own son was born
with numerous birth defects. I spent 20
years of my life as a Maryland State Trooper with Integrity being the
cornerstone of my life.
If
you would like to witness what we do first hand, please come to Jennifer Miller’s
Benefit Fundraising event on November 10th in Baltimore,
Maryland. Jennifer’s son Luc was born
with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome.
Her event is called “Luc’s Mega Minion Bash.” 100% of the proceeds go to the Miller family
to help them with their medical expenses. If you have any questions whatsoever
or would like more information about this event, please contact Esther
Miecznikoski at (410) 688-6498 or by email at lgsapr11182@aol.com. There will be well over 500 people there.
After
Jennifer asked for our help, she became so impressed, she asked to join our
team so that she can help Mended Little Hearts as well as charities across
North America.
Again,
in closing, successful fundraising is strategic and is centered on
understanding business. We would love
the chance to help you and your charity blow away your fundraising goals so
that you can do more. If you have any
questions, please contact Jennifer Miller at Jennifer@bwunlimited.com or call her
(410) 920-1432.
Remember,
we understand it’s scary – we are here for you….without risk, you will never
know what the reward that is waiting for you just around the bend.
Respectfully,
George
Wooden
President
