In Manchester schools, a red jacket means success. Each school year, scores of young adults don the distinctive City Year red jacket to serve as mentors and role models to students in Manchester’s most at-risk schools. With unwavering dedication, they work with faculty and administrators to empower young students — and achieve City Year’s goals of reducing absenteeism, engaging positive behavior and enabling students to successfully complete their course work and remain on-track for graduation. We are pleased to be part of the team that makes this possible.
City Year asked us to provide event and fundraising support for their Starry Starry Night signature fundraising event. This event provides core support for City Year’s annual budget, raising in excess of $250,000. From acquiring donations for the silent auction, to securing corporate sponsors and managing donor relations, we ensured that the event met City Year’s fundraising objectives and engaged event donors and guests in the work of this stellar organization.
