TOTAL RESOURCE CAMPAIGN
Save the Date: September 29 📅
The renewal period for our 3rd Annual Total Resource Campaign (TRC) has begun. If your business purchased a renewable sponsorship last year, a volunteer will reach out soon (and may already have).

The full campaign, which will include many brand new opportunities, kicks off on September 29 and will run through November 9.

Paul Nester, President & CEO of Roanoke Gas, is our TRC Chair. A great group of Vice-Chairs joins Paul:

Jill Perez – Blue Ridge Beverage
Ken Randolph – Rockydale Quarries
Mark Miller – Carilion Clinic
Mark Pace – E.C. Pace Company
Cathy Underwood – Branch Builds

Want to complete a renewal? Reach out to Eric; he will connect you with a volunteer to complete it.

Want to purchase a new opportunity? You're early - but we love it! Shoot a note to Eric; he will ensure you get the chance once the campaign begins.
