FEEDBACK FROM PILOTS SITES
“It Just Takes One is already showing the potential to be one of best things to happen in terms of moving us toward a best practices annual campaign, energizing our board leadership, thinking long term and following advice of BGCA & outside gurus to do what we know we should have been doing for a long time anyway, especially in driving home "the most effective and efficient fundraising is one volunteer face to face with a peer!"
