The YMCA of Roanoke Valley

Roanoke, VA

Cal Johnson  (540) 342-9622

Campaign Date:  2001-2002

 

This capital campaign was conducted to secure funds to build a new YMCA facility in Downtown Roanoke.  The campaign goal was set at $6.5 million.    

 

My responsibility as Senior Project Manager was to conduct all phases of the capital campaign including Project Development, Leadership Solicitation and Community Phase activities with a limited amount of assistance.   The new Downtown Roanoke YMCA opened in September 2004.

 

“As a member of the YMCA of Roanoke Valley’s Capital Campaign Development Committee, I had the opportunity to work with Mark throughout our campaign.  He proved himself to be an experienced, knowledgeable and dedicated professional who provided not only the guidance we needed, but also   the hands-on leadership that allowed us to be successful during a time when our community was faced with many challenges brought on by a slowing economy.”
