Why It Won
Looking at the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh numbers alone from their “The Church Alive!” campaign, it’s a remarkable example of a campaign done well. Aside from the beautifully designed appeal, which details everything you need to know about the organization, you can really get a sense of what the community of this organization is all about.
