It's jaw-dropping.
It's unbelievable.
The mighty Arapahoe Nation, the largest father-child program in the country, set a goal this year to raise $30,000 for WeBuildPeople. We raised $20,000 in 2006. Could we do it?
The program pushed all tribes to join the "One Tribe, One Child" program to donate their wampum to send a child to camp for a week. Longbow Council held several call nights where most all dads in the program were contacted asking for a personal pledge. We only had 6 weeks to meet our goals.
At the WeBuildPeople Victory Celebration on Thursday night, Matt "Moose" Strickland revealed how much money the Arapahoe Nation raised.
$81,762!
This is incredible! Just think of all the needy families and children that will benefit from our hard work.
If your tribe has not made your WeBuildPeople pledge, it's not too late to do so. Contact Matt "Moose" Strickland at 582-2266. We can still take your pledge at the last Fall Outing of the year.
The Alexander YMCA's WeBuildPeople 2007 goal was $675,000, but all the volunteers and donors crushed the goal, raising a record-setting $850,341! This will change the lives of over 1,000 people during the next year!
I want to congratulate everyone involved in the WeBuildPeople campaign. Matt for developing a great plan to take our campaign to the next level, and Steve Motter, our Nation's WeBuildPeople Colonel. We also couldn't have done it without the help of our incredible Longbow Council volunteers.
