Funding Boot Camp: Early Bird Registration Ends Soon

Nick Fellers | April 15, 2010

Early bird registration for Funding Boot Camp runs through May 15th (save $50). We’re at 50% capacity now… I’m hoping we sell out before May 15th to get everyone in at a special rate.

Kerry spoke with ‘Caroline from Texas’ yesterday – Class of 2009. Caroline founded the Miracle Foundation. The Foundation uses a child sponsorship model in which you can sponsor a child ($1200) — who then lives in a campus-like family environment. Totally amazing stuff.

After attending Boot Camp, Caroline & co added an additional 160 sponsors using the For Impact approach. That represented about a 40% jump in funding but more importantly it meant Miracle was transforming the lives of an additional 140 children and their sponsors.

So sign up now. Join the Class of 2010. Let’s write about your funding leap as a teaser next year.

And… answering questions from this week:

  • Yes. We will have food for vegans. I’m not a vegan but I like light food that keeps me thinking. For everyone else we’ll have ‘real food’ also.

  • No. You will not have to go on the ropes courses. We have high ropes courses at Eagle Creek but they’re for other events. However, YES, we could get you up there at the end of day one if the weather cooperates and you want to be daring.

  • No. Contrary to the popular belief of those in California – Ohio is not all corn. Would I assume California is nothing but wild fires? We’ve posted pictures of Eagle Creek — completely and totally beautiful place to be in June. I will concede there is no ocean breeze but other than that, just don’t make properties like this one in California.

  • Yes. You will have to do one practice visit at boot camp. But Tom and I have to do two or three… and we’re in front of the room being dissected – you’re not. A little trust on this one? Way better to learn here than with your best prospect.
