When YESS had to cancel our annual Duck Derby this month, which is our largest annual fund raising event, we added an immediate negative impact of more than $200,000 to our bottom line. It’s a devastating blow. So we launched the Don’t Duck-Out campaign in an effort to try to recap some of the expenses we had already incurred for the derby and try to lessen the pain of the bottom line impact. Last week, EquiTrust Life stepped up to help us fund a TV campaign for this initiative which has resulted in a great return on that investment with multiple donations ranging from $5 to more than $1,000. It’s been amazing!
We’d love to challenge other Rotary Clubs to follow suite."
And Nate Burnham received the following from Carole:
"Rotary Club of Ankeny is Awesome! Your gift of $1,000 is HUGE and will go a very long way in helping us keep Iowa's most vulnerable kids safe from abuse, neglect, trafficking and drugs. Please send our deep gratitude to every member in your chapter."
