5. President’s Report - Challenges
FUNDRAISING!!!
Missed our fundraising target AGAIN. This year by $75,000
Due to: – pledge reduced – (From $50,000 to $15,000) – disappointing raffle ($7,000 v budget of $15,000)
– High expenses from the “Party on the Pitch” – and lower than expected revenue
Competitor Select program started….but this threat declined during the year
Still challenged by consistency of coaching across development program remains an issue. This is a “work in progress”
