Children, Inc. Director of Marketing and Donor Development Liz Sweeney and CEO Marian Cummins just returned from a very successful trip to Boca Raton, Florida where they were able to be a part of the Nussentials Corporation Annual Meeting. Nussentials contributed a total of $50,162 in sponsorships for U.S. children! Below is Liz S.'s report on the trip...
"The trip was a BIG success! We were able to have face-to-face visits with 6 donors in the area and meet with over 200 Nussentials reps. Meeting with the individual donors was such a treat. They were all so excited to meet someone from CI and couldn’t believe that we would take the time to visit with them. All were so complimentary of the work that each of you does and the over-all dedication of the staff.
Both Marian and I gave talks to the Nussentials folks on Saturday, at their annual meeting. After our talk, they presented us with a check for $50,162! Thanks to sponsor Bonnie Halperin, we also had a benefit reception at Saks Fifth Ave on Sunday afternoon. Saks presented us with a check as well for our Haven Fund.
Nussentials also had a silent auction for us where they auctioned off soy candles that were absolutely beautiful! The auction raised an additional $660.
One of the Nussentials teams in DC is also making it their goal to find sponsors for all of our new DC kids. As D.C. is a brand new program, grassroots support like this is outstanding! We look forward to many more years of collaboration with Nussentials. Their assistance has meant so much to the children on our program."
