Haddad-Build It and They (Really) Will Come Special Events Fundraising

By Duke Haddad, Ed.D.

We learned a great deal about ourselves and others. It was a wonderful experience that generated time from volunteers, talent of having parish members do many tasks and treasure — and we hope a healthy net income to be determined. A by-product for me was to get to know my parish members in a closer way.

Finally, if you volunteer for a festival, keep Pepto-Bismol, Aleve and Visine in your car.

We built it, and they came!
