Giving stories are coming in! Here is one sent to me from Steve Bell and Gina Fink-Bell, owners of The Networking Masters in Regina, SK, Canada. They are the founders of INFA and hosts of the Authors Unscripted Talk Show. Gina is also the founder of the JV Mavens Group. They invited me as a guest speaker on their Authors Unscripted Talk Show a week ago. Steve interviewed my about the book and you can catch it here. It was a great interview and a special shout out to them for having me.
After the radio interview, Steve and I chatted for a few minutes. He started telling me about a charity gala they hosts each year. Giving is important to both Steve and Gina and that is really clear in all that they do. The 1st Annual Givers Gain Gala really caught a lot of local attention and they have had up to 500+ participants and raised nearly $5,000. Each year they select a different charity to not only raise money for but also awareness. See, this is key. Giving is great for organizations. But part of their mission is to also raise awareness about their cause and what they do in a community or region. The 2nd Annual Givers Gain Gala helped raise money and awareness for the Local Food Bank.
This event is a huge success for everyone, the hosts, the sponsors, the organizers, the charity and the community. Keep up the great work Steve and Gina! Continued success for your Givers Gain Gala.
