"If you're not practicing layups, you'll never make any amazing plays"
From the Extreme Fundraising Blog:
If you go to a practice of an NBA team like the Boston Celtics, guess what you’ll see these world champions doing? Lay-ups. Free throws. Passing drills.
The very same basketball basics they’ve been doing since elementary school!
It’s the same with raising money: if you’re not practicing the lay-ups, you’ll probably never make any amazing plays.
We couldn’t agree more. For fundraising success in a tough economic climate, it’s important to keep your eye on the prize and invest deeply in your donors, supporters and fundraisers.
Need help? Putting together an event for next year? Slides and audio from last week’s webinar, “9 things you can do now for 2009 fundraising event success,” are now up. You can download them, too. And as always, feel free to drop us a line if you have more questions. We’d love to see you be a champion for your cause in 2009.
