Destination ImagiNation Fundraising

25th Anniversary FundraiserIn honor of Destination Imagination Inc .'s 25th anniversary as a non profit, the Board of Trustees has launched a $25 for 25 anniversary Web Donation Campaign.
Non-profits can not exist entirely on membership fees.  It takes donations big and small to ensure that the program will survive.  Corporate sponsors look at program and participation when deciding which charities to fund.  You understand the value of Destination ImagiNation program for the youth in your area.  Now it's time to show potential sponsors the participation they understand, and tally our time and dedication with a little cash.  We hope you will join with us and make a donation this year to Destination Imagination. You can find out all about the campaign by going to www.idodi.org and click on $25 for 25 logo in the left hand margin.
