The Nonprofit Partnership

Erie, PA is fortunate to have this incredible resource for all the nonprofits in the area.  The Nonprofit Partnership's mission is to strengthen area nonprofits through capacity-building programs and services.  We participated in many of the invaluable seminars and one-on-one services and have benefited from their philanthropic wisdom.

Bob Wooler, Director of The Nonprofit Partnership, has been instrumental in helping Celebration Donation strengthen its philanthropic roots and connecting us to some outstanding PRO BONO talent.  Gary Ravetto, Associate Director, has been "training" us to become more effective leaders in the philanthropic world.  Celebration Donation has blossomed under their watchful eyes.  We feel grateful for their never-ending help.

1201 Kitchen

From the warm, inviting decor to the delicious, mouth-watering entrees, 1201 Kitchen is a  welcomed addition to Erie, PA.  Not only does it offer a wonderful dining experience, 1201 Kitchen also believes in giving back to the community.  From October through December 31, 2009, 1201 Kitchen will donate $1 to Emmaus Ministries Soup Kitchen for each dessert served... "One Kitchen Helping Another Kitchen".

Owners, J.B. Innes and Chef Dan Kern also have generously extended 1201 Kitchen for our Celebration Donation launch party on November 10.  1201 Kitchen is the perfect place to celebrate with family and friends... and to share giving as a group to Emmaus Soup Kitchen through Celebration Donation.  Thanks, J.B. and Dan - I hope Erie supports you for supporting Erie!

Muddpuppy Design

Kristine Mudd is a goddess!  Not only does she have a great design aesthetic - but she also was the reason we found our incredible web developers, Warecorp.  Upon learning about Celebration Donation (from Doug Popovich), Kristine approached Warecorp stating, "We MUST work with Celebration Donation."

Just take a look at the Celebration Donation homepage.  Kristine designed it. We love it!  She understands Celebration Donation and created a beautiful way to bring the brand to life on the site.  She also created a number of invites, PRO BONO!  While extremely busy, she always makes the time to help us on our adventure.  Thanks, Kristine!

Office ROI 

Doug Popovich has been a great friend for the past 20 years.  With his strong work ethic and his never-ending attention to detail, Doug helped transform our original copy-crazy Celebration Donation presentation into a gorgeous PowerPoint story that makes any viewer stop and watch.

Doug is organized AND creative, a tough combination to find!  Doug participated in many brainstorming sessions for Celebration Donation and coined our tagline "Watch Giving Grow".  Doug also created our letterhead templates PRO BONO.  Check out the Office ROI website to review Doug's remarkable work.  (And, Doug, don't forget to pay the bagelman!)

Pause for Thought

Alan McNear and Janice Pedley should be showered with good karma for all the wonderful work they have done for Celebration Donation!

Without hesitation this amazing design team has been helping Celebration Donation - from creating the Celebration Donation logo to answering our call to create invitation designs - all PRO BONO!  We thank you.  We are in awe of your elegant, confident style and approachable, dependable work ethic.  Your work is beautiful and we feel honored to have your invite designs and logo as part of our Celebration Donation website.

Please take a peek at the Pause for Thought website to gain a better perspective of their incredible design vision.  Alan and Janice, you rock! 

Warecorp 

From the start, Warecorp has understood our vision.  From the start, Warecorp was willing to work with a new nonprofit that had little online experience.  The Warecorp team has worked endless hours to create our fully integrated website.  And, even though our website is quite complex, Warecorp has created an experience that is easy to navigate and communicates Celebration Donation's desire to make giving contagious.

A special thank you must go out to the extraordinary Cris Cannon, our Project Manager.  Cris is a genius at managing both sides of the online equation - the client (us) and the web developers.  She is able to talk the talk - translating the questions and needs into client-friendly jargon.  This is a gift.  It goes beyone her years of experience... Cris knows how to listen and communicate.  Cris... you truly made Celebration Donation come to life... you rock!

Tungsten Creative Group

Jody Farrell and her team at Tungsten Creative did not hesitate to help the Blood, Sweat & Cheers Team with their Half Marathon fundraising event.  Jody's team created the beautifully designed home page button and eCard/invite to honor Bernadette Catrabone, a dear friend and Aplastic Anemia survivor.
