fundraising - Athletes in action!

Do you have any relationships with the athletic dept at U of louisville?  If you think of what peyton manning has done for st vincent's children's hospital in Indy, some of the hoop or football players from louisville who play here might be able to be an advocate for you and for maryhurst.

Mary cahill is brian brohm's cousin.  I could ask her to have him check you out on line and then visit you in person if you want.  I don't know if she would be up for it or not, but its probably worth a try.

Our donors are all passing on!

You and maryhurst should have a mechanism to remind people to support you in their wills after they are gone.  I'm not sure how to do this in a non-macabre way, but it will be key until you develop a group of younger supporters.

fundraising: The future is our youth-Mcconnel scholars, Bulldogs in the bluegrass

Hey,

The Mcconnel center scholars program has up and coming students being groomed for leadership positions in govt at UL. They would be an ideal group to get involved with NH. They could have a lifetime of involvement with you.

Also, bulldogs in the bluegrass: a yale program that sends kids here for internships in the summer. similar group!

Publicity: LEO weekly

Has Leo ever done a story on your facility/programs? That might get some interest in fundraising/volunteers started.

Retiring or dying politicians; Living ones too - Yarmuth

Hey,

I seem to remember that when a politician dies or retires, they sometimes have a big war chest of $ left over.

Recently, a african american lady from IN died in office. Anne Northrup got beat and may have some money laying around somewhere too and a desire to help the community out.

Have you ever met with Anne or with John Yarmuth. Lindsay said Northrup was very helpful getting funding legislation included for immigrant programs....does Yarmuth or his staff know anything about NH?

fundraising: muhammad ali

Didn't muhammad ali grow up around here? Has he ever had any experience with your center or played a role in publicity or fundraising for you?
