Thank you! to all our 2010 "TWB" Donors.

The “Together We Build” (TWB) campaign was launched by a group of alumni who came together at Camp Hitaga for Camp Fire’s 100th Anniversary on July 31, 2010. Together, this group developed a plan to meet the financial and leadership challenges of the Iowana Council, and set a goal of raising $250,000 by the end of 2012.

As of March 1, 2011, we have received support from 125 donors from 26 states across the country giving at all levels, from $5 - $50,000, adding up to almost $170,000 in cash and pledges, with almost $110,000 already received. We are very encouraged by this generous response, and now aim to meet our $250,000 goal a year early--by the end of 2011. We hope you will help us reach that target.

We have set aside 15% of TWB proceeds not otherwise designated by the donor to increase marketing and 30% toward hiring a professional Executive Director, with the remaining 55% to be used for current and future operating expenses and capital improvements.

Two thirds of TWB donors so far have been Alumni. One third have made multi-year pledges. Donations have been made in honor of 12 people, groups and concepts, including “The Camp Hitaga that is part of us all…” and in memory of 16 departed friends and leaders, from Mrs. B and Noel Newell to Jean Halverson to 1931 camper Lillian Locher Strittmatter, who passed during 2010.
