Capital Campaign: May 2005 - September 2005

A $10.0 million Capital Campaign was being conducted to fund a new 80,000 square foot family YMCA facility located in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. Due to cost escalations, Heritage Funding Solutions was hired to secure an additional $1.5 million in camapign pledges and donations.

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your dedication to the success of the Rocky Mount Family YMCA’s $10.0 million capital campaign. The high level of professionalism you displayed backed up by your extensive capital campaign experience allowed you to quickly gain credibility with our volunteers. In the end, results count and your leadership allowed us to achieve the results we needed to ensure the success of our project.

I look forward to sharing our success story and the important part you played in helping the YMCA finalize our campaign."

“Mark, thank you for all the work & effort you put into this project. I'll admit at first I was totally against bringing you or anyone else in. That was based on our “expensive lesson” learned earlier in the campaign & had nothing to do with you or your reputation. Now I only regret we didn't get you first. You handled the campaign with a sense of purpose & professionalism. In the future if I can help you or you'd like to use me as a reference I will be only too happy to assist.”
