Yesterday was dedication day. All at once, the day was joyful and somber, heavy and uplifting. It was a day of new beginnings as well as goodbyes. But first, there was shopping to be done. In the morning we headed to Avigale (Mexican Costco) and bought several months worth of basic food and personal hygiene […]

6 Reasons Why Our Monthly Partners are V.I.P.’s
Published by April 8th, 2010 in Donate, Mainpage and Uncategorized. 0 CommentsIn Absolute, we believe in the power of each life to make a difference, and when those lives join together so much more can be achieved. We value each donor and financial partner and because of that, we thought we should share 6 reasons why we believe our Monthly Partners are V.I.P.’s…
- Monthly partners makes it possible for us to effectively strategize today for how we can be the most effective tomorrow.
- Every dollar makes a difference! We value the partner behind the financial commitment because we recognize that we need each other.
- Absolute values the trust relationship we have with our donors - whether they are one-time donors or monthly partners. However, our monthly partners are also part of a communication network that keeps them informed of what is happening on a monthly basis, as well as updates on special projects and emergency situations.
- Everyone has a voice! We love to hear from our monthly partners and allow their voice to be heard on our website and through our communication networks.
- Monthly partners are people who are discerning philanthropists and tuned in to what they can do to make a difference, both locally and globally. They see the bigger picture and they know that their lives are a valuable part of it.
- Monthly partners are socially conscious and progressive because they recognize that the time to invest in the future is TODAY!
If you would like to know more about how to get involved in our monthly partnership, email partners@absolute.org or go to www.absolute.org/donate. Together anything is possible!

It’s been my experience that once people know what Hero Holiday is all about they will help out in any way they can. I’ve organized some very successful fundraisers in the […]

Published by March 22nd, 2010 in Uncategorized. ClosedI sent out letter to friends, family and local businesses asking if they would consider sponsoring me in my efforts.
