Connecting Champions
Annual Report Design (Digital & Print)
Project details
What we need
- A professionally designed annual report, up to 20 pages, with print-ready specifications
What we have in place
- We currently have mission statement, executive summary, 1-pager, &staff bios, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have impact stories and pictures, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $7,842 , allowing us to match 19 newly diagnosed kids with cancer to their inspirational role model.
This project will help us to clearly and concisely share the impact of our organization across all of our networks- families, kids, hospital staff, donors, colleagues. We're sitting on hundreds of impact stories a year, but we don't currently have the knowledge or capacity to share those with the world.
Project plan
Our mission
Connecting Champions is a mentoring nonprofit for kids with cancer, centered around the question, "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
What we do
Whatever our kids want to be -- a ballerina, a train conductor, a video game designer, a ghosthunter, and so many others -- we find a local role model who can be a friend throughout the cancer journey.
Everything we do is research-based and outcomes-driven, built to help kids reach the developmental milestones they should be reaching had they not been so sick. We're adding a child development approach to healthcare, and we're making waves in the field of pediatric oncology. In 2019, we're preparing for national expansion.
Our friendships help families cope better, young ones make their first friends, and teens overcome depression during the cancer journey. Through our historic partnership with UPMC Children's Hospital, 90% of newly diagnosed children in our region are referred to Connecting Champions and we've paired kids with 34 different professions.
Testimonials
Catherine was an absolute dream come true! The quality of her work and her professionalism went above and beyond what we ever could have hoped for, not to mention her truly kind heart and passion for helping our kids. Because of Catherine, we now have a beautiful annual report, a "timeless" information book about Connecting Champions and our kids, and a postcard template that we plan to use for donor stewardship. All of these materials are "firsts" for Connecting Champions - we have never had the capacity or resources to develop them ourselves. These will be a staple for our organization moving forward and will help us share our impact with key stakeholders. Catherine was incredibly flexible and worked with us to help develop the materials that would carry the most impact. She was ever kind, warm, and a pure joy to work with! Anyone given the opportunity to work with Catherine should feel the utmost gratitude at being able to work with such an incredible person. We simply can't recommend her highly enough!
What an absolute pleasure working with Sidney and Arias -- I can't convey what an amazing opportunity it's been to become involved with Connecting Champions! What began as a sizeable annual report transitioned into a compact annual report, coupled with a longer "timeless" general-information book and customizable postcard templates. Sidney and Arias were attentive to my needs and answered questions quickly; provided high-quality content and gorgeous photos; and sent thoughtful revisions at lightning speed. They regularly asked for my input and showed confidence in my suggestions, and their passion and enthusiasm for the project were clear every step of the way. It's rare that I've worked with such genuine, warm people, and Sidney's and Arias' gratitude for my assistance has been overwhelming ... I'm so proud to be small part of their team and to support their work! Connecting Champions is a such a fantastic resource for children with cancer, as well as for their families, and I'd 1,000% encourage anyone to work with them. To Sidney, Arias, and the entire Connecting Champions team -- you're THE BEST!! :)
