Fundraising update: December exceeded matching challenge; donor-wall mockups planned
Summary
The district’s fundraising committee reported a strong December, surpassing a $25,000 matching challenge and raising over $31,000; the committee plans donor-wall mockups for upcoming outreach.
The Norris fundraising committee reported a strong December fundraising performance at the Jan. 13 board meeting, surpassing a $25,000 matching challenge from the Educational Foundation.
Committee members said the group raised "over $31,000" in December. Noted contributions included $15,000 from Bison for the current year and a $10,000 commitment for the next year, $3,000 from Wilderness Designs, and a larger gift noted from the Lincoln Community Foundation recognizing Walter and Katie Wolkowski. The committee also reported steady smaller donations such as Venmo gifts and brick sales, and said brick sales have exceeded 100 units.
The fundraising group plans a donor-wall mockup presentation: Brad Wilkin will present draft donor-wall designs at the committee’s next meeting. The committee discussed upcoming events, including a "Casino Madness" night and the 7 Willows event in March, and plans outreach to potential community donors who have not yet committed.
Why it matters: Fundraising supports facility improvements at the Titan Activities Complex (for example the concession-stand footprint) and can offset capital costs or pay for project enhancements not covered by construction budgets.
Next steps: The fundraising committee will continue outreach, present mockups for donor recognition, and report progress to the board.
