Beginning in the spring of 2016, local entrepreneur Nathan Puffalt began working with Battlefords Boys and Girls Club Executive Director Nicole Combres on marketing strategies for the club.
Of primary focus was the club’s $40 for 40 campaign.
“With the hit in the economy, we are seeing decreased revenue while the need for our services increased,” Combres explains.
“With zero guaranteed dollars year to year and no government funding, we had to get creative in how we generate revenue and financial stability.”
To help celebrate the club’s 40th anniversary, a monthly donation option for the citizens of the Battlefords has been created.
“While the campaign speaks to a $40 monthly contribution, any dollar amount makes a difference in the lives of our children. If someone is able to donate $1 per month, they are making a difference,” Combres says.
Puffalt has donated more than 60 hours of his time in designing this campaign across social media, video and print.
“With a background in non-profit management, I have always felt the need to give back to the community and what better way than to give back to the future of our community,” says Puffalt.
“I invite any other non-profits and charities in the region to get in touch with me on how I may be of service to them as well.”
