?? Join Us for a Special Event This Friday! ?? Today, we’re excited to share a heartwarming story from one of our supporters and invite you to a special event hosted by Fortune Creek to support Kelowna's Gospel Mission. ?? Event Details: ?? Date: Friday, June 28th ?? Time: 4-8 PM ?? Location: 231 Bernard Ave Enjoy special performances by Dawson Gray + Guests, delicious treats like Famous Butter Tarts, fresh fruit milkshakes, pies, sausage, and more! ? Call to Action: Please bring food donations or cash. All contributions will support Kelowna's Gospel Mission. Here’s a story that highlights why we are the charity of choice for Fortune Creek: "I heard a story once that described the difference between Heaven and Hell: In Hell there was a huge table, on it was every food imaginable, and you were allowed to eat whatever you wanted, they only rule was you could not eat with your hands. People around Hells table were sad and hungry because the utensils they were forced to use we so large they could not hold it in their hands and feed themselves. So they starved. In Heaven they had the same huge table, with the same food, and the same large utensils. Similarly, you were allowed to eat whatever you wanted, provided you did not eat with your hands. But unlike Hell, they were laughing and smiling with full bellies of amazing food. How? Because rather than feed themselves, they fed each other. That’s why the utensils were so large to begin with and because they took care of each other’s needs, they flourished. The reason why we chose KGM is we believe community challenges require community solutions. The KGM is one the best initiatives to help support our growing and changing community’s needs. " Bring your family and friends for a wonderful time! We look forward to seeing you there! #SupportLocal #Kelownas #FortuneCreek #SpecialEvent #FamilyFriendly #CommunitySupport #LocalSupportGospelMission #CommunityEvent #GiveBack

BUMPs Tip of the week: Build trust The easiest way to increase sales is to instill a sense of trust with your audience. People want to support good causes and win your raffle, but they will be hesitant to buy tickets if they don’t trust you. BUMP is here to help you build stronger bonds with your audience.

Dessert is last for a reason! ?? When you end the meal on something sweet, it leaves you with a positive impression of the entire experience. I bet you remember way more delicious cakes than casseroles. I also like to end my fundraising copy with dessert! Instead of "Your gift will help children learn to read and avoid drugs," I use "Your gift will help keep kids avoid drugs and learn to read!" In the former, you're making something nice less so with a downer. In the latter, you're making a downer sweeter with something nice. Profound? Not particularly. Impactful? TBD Personally preferred? Absolutely. #fundraising #nonprofit #fundraisingtips

Dressed or not? That is the question… A po’boy can be plain - just French bread and your choice of protein. OR You can get it “dressed” with lettuce, mayo, tomato, and pickle. Same goes with life. We all co-exist. But when we share our collective experiences and make fulfilling personal connections, that’s when the best stuff happens. How have you “dressed” up your life this week?
