From the Foundation
Jan Hayden Chair, American College of Bankruptcy Foundation
The Foundation began 2025 celebrating an extraordinarily successful fundraising year for 2024. We started the 2024 campaign in earnest at the All-Fellows luncheon in Seattle in September, raffling a ticket to ride in the IRIS parade during Mardi Gras which culminated in an animated auction for another spot. As a result of those efforts, we raised $ 6,900, and Trish Redmond and Lynn Tavenner joined several other Fellows in New Orleans for a fun-filled ride in the Iris parade in March of this year … See above for proof!
But we were just getting started! The Foundation received a total of $ 514,928 in donations from our Fellows, bringing our 2024 fundraising total to a record $ 521,828. That was a 9 % increase from our 2023 fundraising total of $ 476,654, and a 14 % increase from $ 459,178.15 in 2022. We far exceeded our announced( and ambitious) goal of $ 485,000 and even our internal“ home run” goal of $ 500,000. The chart below outlines the twenty-year history of your foundation donations:
