Littauer’s THE EVENT holds rank with area’s largest organizations

Gloversville, NY…Nathan Littauer’s Foundation annual fundraising gala reached a distinctive threshold last week; It was ranked as one of the top fundraising events in the region. THE EVENT, The Foundation’s annual gala, now in its eighth year was listed as the 25^th most successful fundraising event by The Business Review’s Book of Lists. “The List” is a compendium ranking the most successful fundraising events by net revenue per single event.

According to Susan Kiernan, Vice President of Development, “In 2009, THE EVENT raised $84,000 which is nearly 50% of our annual commitment to the Hospital.” She added, “And this figure of $84,000 is above and beyond our $4.5 million dollar capital campaign donations. THE EVENT is a signature gala for our region. Our wonderful cause coupled with tight fiduciary management makes it a success, year after year.”

“This is just one more example of how our community tirelessly supports our hospital” explained Laurence E. Kelly the Hospital’s CEO and President. He continued, “Even during a global financial crisis, our supporters dug deep and gave. While most organizations had to reconfigure or abandon philanthropic campaigns, we exceeded our fundraising goals.”
