Georgia campaign leaves goal in the dust

Powered by the momentum provided by previous multi-year campaign successes, and with the assistance of STELLAR planning and support, the Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce, of Gainesville, GA wrapped up an aggressive fundraising effort well over anyone's expectations last month: $1.85 million in pledge commitments on a goal of 2.2 million!  Chamber leaders announced that over 120 investors have pledged more than $2.4 million in the future of their community, bringing the campaign to a dramatic conclusion.

Titled "HALLmark VISION - A Clear Path to our Future", goals of the effort included the funding of a comprehensive community visioning and goal setting initiative, economic and community development through business attraction and retention, assistance to retail and small business development, and support for education and workforce development.


Iowa campaign aims to double the budget.

With STELLAR on hand to design, test and launch the effort, the Iowa City Area Development Group (ICAD) has staged an exciting Kick-off event from a position of strength with 75% of the goal already committed by public and private sector leaders who stepped up early to ensure that this critical economic development initiative is successful. The campaign is on target to wrap up over goal this summer.

Iowa football coach and icon Kirk Ferenze was on hand to assist ICAD president Joe Raso in getting the campaign announced publicly. Titled "Creating Advantage, Investing for Results", the $3.75 million fundraising project started at a breakfast meeting attended by more than 150 area business leaders and public officials.

"I'm extremely proud of the way the ICAD and STELLAR Teams have worked together to achieve such impressive results" said STELLAR Founder and CEO Terry Cusack.
