Brother Bill's Helping Hand: Spring 2024 Campaign

introduction:

Our Annual Giving service revolves around story-based, deadline-driven campaigns designed to engage supporters year-round. By emphasizing frequency, consistency, and personalization, we develop and execute four annual campaigns, creating tailored creative assets across digital and print media. Our commitment is to activate donor relationships, inspire broad audiences, and provide the strategic support needed to reinforce these relationships through personalized communication.

campaign objective:

The primary objective of this annual giving campaign was to honor Brother Bill's Helping Hand's rich 80-year history, which began with humble beginnings. The campaign highlighted the organization's significant growth and the expansion of its services, illustrating this with examples such as the South Dallas Community Market and the expansion of the Wild Game event, which started as a means to provide protein to neighbors. The campaign also emphasized that BBHH's ability to meet the increasing needs of our neighbors has been made possible by the unwavering support of loyal donors. Contributions to this campaign are essential to ensuring that BBHH can continue to grow and expand its impact in the community.
