Bidwell Riverside Center
Bidwell Riverside Center, an agency that provides services and help to hundreds of at need individuals and families, met and surpassed its financial goals in its first-ever Annual Support Campaign. The campaign Chair for the event had no prior experience in leading an annual campaign and was nervous, even intimidated, at the idea of guiding board members, employees and volunteers through the must-succeed process.
Using the plan and tools from TPG, including timelines, training, team competition, recognition, manuals, charts, advice and ideas, Bidwell finished the campaign ahead of its goal by 163 percent.
Not only did the campaign push Bidwell ahead of its plans, it helped build morale and camaraderie among the staff, volunteers and donors. What was once a loose support network is now an energized and effective annual campaign team.
