The Challenge

Raise the money to update the YMCA’s pool.

The YMCA of Middletown needed to fund an update to its pool. Its strongest case was the people who use it every day.

The Approach

How the work unfolded.

  1. Tell real stories

    Produced a video series of patrons explaining what the YMCA means to them.

  2. Put them in front of people

    Advised on promoting each video through the website and social media to reach the widest audience.

The Outcome

What changed.

  • Donations started after the first video was posted.
  • The series found a national audience.
  • A donor in Texas gave a six-figure gift toward the pool.
