This capital campaign was conducted to secure funds to build a new family YMCA and renovate three additional branches.  The campaign goal was set at $8.9 million.  The Campaign was a great success, securing in excess of $8.2 million, making it by far the most successful campaign in the history of the YMCA of Metropolitan Knoxville and one of the most successful campaigns in the history of Knoxville.

 

My responsibility as Senior Project Manager was to conduct the Project Development and Leadership Solicitation Phases of the campaign.  In addition to several large commitments from local community leaders and local foundations, a $1.2 million commitment plus land from the City of Knoxville and a $1.0 million commitment from Knox County were secured.

 

“Mark proved himself to be a leader with the integrity, knowledge and vision necessary to guide the YMCA through the many challenges of a capital campaign.  Ultimately, we were able to secure in excess of $8 million in campaign pledges, making this by far the most successful campaign in the YMCA’s history and one of the most successful campaigns in our community’s history.  I would like to encourage others who are considering utilizing a consultant for their upcoming capital campaign to contact Mark.”
