Success Story:
an excerpt
We have been involved in a number of fundraising efforts.
Each has supported a worthy cause, and all have been
exciting and gratifying in their own ways. But not one of
them was remotely similar to the 10 STORIES Campaign.
What was the difference? As we sat down with people in our
respective series of one-on-one meetings—at early-morning
breakfasts, during the lunch hour, or over dinner—and also
in our larger-group meetings, we consistently encountered
an overwhelming sense of good
will toward Fenway, and toward the
outstanding work that it does.
There is a deep, deep reservoir of affection for
Fenway—certainly in Boston, but also farther afield. People
understand what Fenway does for the LGBT community, and by
extension, for the larger community. They understand the
importance of delivering skilled and sensitive health care
to previously underserved populations. They understand how
conducting research into AIDS, women’s health, and other
key issues benefits both smaller groups and larger
populations . . .
