Pacesetter Results -- Rolling In

I got a note from Chad Hood, one of the United Way Campaign Managers. He said that Pacesetter results are starting to roll in, and there are some really impressive #'s:

Cada Law Office - 45% increase
West Gate Bank - 15% increase
Lighthouse - 69% increase
American National Bank - 10% increase
American Red Cross - 222% increase

Chad warned that it's important that we not get too far ahead of ourselves, but of the 17 companies that are turned in and totally complete, contributions are up 9%. That's fantastic!

Now. . .I know we can't all deliver growth like that. I know 1st hand, because although my campaign (Novartis) will finish ahead $$$-wise from last year, my % participation is flat this year and my contribution growth slight. But I also think it was one of our most successful campaigns.

So dollars are great. . .but every campaign is a success story.

Thanks everyone for all of your hard work. If what we're seeing is an actual trend, we're all participating in one of the most successful campaign seasons to date. Stay tuned!
