Nonprofit Organization Management - Charlotte, North Carolina, United States
Next Level Fundraising was created to focus on non-profit organizations to help take their fundraising efforts and events to the next level through detailed project management, planning and exposure. Involved in the community for many years, a focus on non-profit organizations awareness and events took hold in 2011 when I began working with the Ada Jenkins Center to launch the Curry Celebrity Golf Classic. While working with Dell & Stephen Curry and executives serving on the event committee, fundraising goals have been exceeded since Ada Jenkins became the sole beneficiary in 2011. With Stephen Curry named MVP in 2015 and his family growing out in California, the Curry Celebrity Classic came to an end. I am still very involved on the committee of the Wine Spectacular hosted by the Lake Norman-Huntersville Rotary Club and held at NorthStone Country Club in the Fall. This benefits the Lake Norman Community Health Clinic and Little Smiles.Other organizations and event involvement include the Charlotte Firefighters Association's Memorial Stair Climb, March Forth with HOPE, Lake Norman Wine Spectacular (Rotary Club), Save A Life Golf Classic, Ivester Jackson/Christies Home & Wine Tour. Responsibilities include developing & managing sponsorship benefits & relationships, securing sponsors, recruiting celebrity athletes (Curry Classic), planning & implementing marketing campaigns & strategies including print, broadcast, radio & social media, managing collateral & promotional product development, event planning & logistics, silent auction management and more. With over 20 years of marketing experience, working with top level executives and a passion for fundraising, I bring well rounded expertise and ideas to non-profit organizations that consistently result in successful projects and events.
