> We’ve spoken to most of you individually, but have not been great about
> keeping you posted on developments here. Which is to say, we’ve been really

> *Fundraising update*:
>
> 1. The Blue Dream Gala raised $200,000 for the Foundation. It was amazing,
> really a great event.
> 2. The second annual golf outing in Wilmington raised over $340,000 and
> netted over $213,000.
> 3. We just wrapped up a programming and fundraising drive at the ShopRite
> grocery store in Warminster, PA. We raised over $30,000 over the 12 weeks
> cashiers were asking for donations as customers came through line.
> 4. Grants: We expect to hear from the Laffey McHugh Foundation in
> mid-December about our grant. We requested $50,000, and I am hopeful we’ll
> get at least $25,000. We also received an unsolicited grant from the Dircks
> Family Foundation for $5,000 and expect $10,000 from the Joseph Alexander
> Foundation (we didn’t submit a formal grant application, but they donated
> 10k last year, and asked for a letter requesting another 10k).
> *5. Since April, we’ve raised over $625,000.*
>
> *Programming update:*
>
> *Stewards of Children*: We trained 14 new facilitators in September and
> have had three of them engaged in running their own Stewards trainings. We
> also have trained about 1/2 of the Indian River School District teachers,
> administrators and staff. We will have completely trained this district by
> March. They will be the second district state wide completely trained in
> Stewards of Children - and the first done completely by the BBF. To date,
> we’ve trained over 1,400 adults in Delaware. Additionally, Patty is headed
> to NYC in December to meet with folks who participated in the Blue Dream
> Gala in order to talk about training and giving back to the community.
>
> *NetSmartz*: We’ve spoken to over over 3,000 kids since April - Patty had
> a presentation at Padua Academy last week where she spoke to 675 girls at
> one time. We’ve also launched a presentation for adults, wherein we talk to
> them about what their kids are doing online and ways they can start healthy
> discussions about internet safety at every age level.
>
> *Safe To Compete*: We’re still working through some issues with the Boys
> & Girls Clubs of DE, but they’ve begun rolling out NetSmartz to their clubs
> and have begun including BBF branded Child ID Kits with their welcome
> packets for new members. We also gave them two of our child ID kit laptop
> machines (
> http://shop.ezchildid.com/Complete-Mobile-Turnkey-System-SYSTEMTURNKEY.htm)
> as part of the grant.
>
> *NAAG Fellowship*: Our first BB Fellow at NAAG, Shannon Signore, has been
> hard at work on a survey of child protection laws across the country. She’s
> also been spending a good amount of time at NCMEC, working to build bridges
> between NAAG and NCMEC. She wraps up her work for us at the end of the
> month, and I look forward to a full debrief from her, which I’ll share with
> you all.
>
> *Growth update:*
>
> We moved out of our office in the city of Wilmington last week, and are
> settling in to our new (free!) digs at Widener University’s Delaware Law
> School. With just about everything free here, we’ll be saving the
> Foundation close to $1,600 per month. The space is great, and we have easy
> access to all of the classrooms and lecture halls for us to run programming
> here. Patty and I are working on a plan to build out our volunteer base at
> the law school as well.
>
> We’ve finally worked out the kinks in our thank you note process, and will
> have a much smoother system moving forward.
>
> In the next two months, we will be transitioning to a new donor management
> system - moving away from the system we inherited that was built for
> political campaigns. The new system will be much more user friendly, and
> allow for greater reporting, donor “touch” tracking, and - most importantly
> to to me - offer a unified email and contact management system. We’re still
> reviewing solutions, and I’ll let you know how it goes.
>
> *Events Update*:
>
> We’re beginning to plan for 2017 events. Mark the following on your
> calendars if you would, it would be great to see you at these events, if
> your time permits.
>
> January 24, 25 or 26: BBF Board Meeting. We’ll do this in Wilmington, with
> folks able to dial in if unable to attend. Please fill out this form to let
> me know your availability: http://doodle.com/poll/245tp5sr442fxggr. Also,
> please let us know if you have any ideas you’d like to explore at the next
> board meeting, or folks you think we should reach out to. Your input is
> invaluable.

> Saturday, March 18, 10 am - 12 pm. BBF Trail Run at Granogue, (2830
