Looking Back on the April 9, 2025 Alexandria A Cappella Collective Successful spring2ACTion
CONGRATULATIONS to the members of the AACC for their success at raising over $30,000 (and exceeding the chapter goal) during the Spring2ACTion fundraising event.
Spring2ACTion is the city of Alexandria’s annual day of giving that raises several million dollars for local nonprofits. This was the 15th year of S2A, and over the past decade it has become the AACC’s most significant fundraising event of the year. All day on April 9 (and in the days leading up to it) the members were promoting the campaign to their friends and families and co-workers through email, text messaging, and social media. The AACC’s success during the day also earned us additional prize money for having the most donors and dollars raised during a designated “Power Hour” from 3-4 pm and for having the third highest number of donors for organizations of our size.
There was a large pool of money used to match donations during the day – those matching dollars came from chapter members and friends and totaled $9,750. Those generous gifts gave our campaign a big boost.
Kudos to chapter development director, Ken Rub, for steering the event and to general manager Susan Fitzpatrick for handling the promotion and social media posts and other logistics. It was fun to watch the tally all day and to see donations from members who live far from Alexandria now, and chapter friends who still support our programs to bring music to the Metro Area. It was also great to see so many members join in the event and especially the many Harmonizer and Metro Voices members who participated for the first time.
Until next time – editorjack!
