The SCVV Development Team. Ferne Cooper, Kathy Green, Kathy Jankowski, Kathy Johnson, and Karen Taylor
The year 2024 was a busy and successful one for the Development Team working to further the work of the South Coastal Village Volunteers. Now 2025 is fully under way.
Giving Tuesday. For this annual national day of giving on December 3, 2024, SCVV received $3,550 from twenty-one donors. Almost five hundred end-of-the-year annual appeal letters went out, resulting in many generous donations that will help us continue to provide outstanding services.
Quiet Resorts Charitable Foundation. A grant of $2,400 from the Quiet Resorts Charitable Foundation will be used for six reduced-fee memberships. To show our gratitude, Kathy Green, Ron Kerchner, Chris Powers, and Diane Strobel volunteered at the chamber’s Hair of the Dog Polar Bear Plunge on January 1.
Winter Dine&Donate. Up next was a wonderful Dine&Donate at the Cottage Café on January 15. Net proceeds from lunch and dinner included $650, plus another $345 from the 50/50 drawing (thank you, Sue Culin), for a total of $995 raised. We thank all those who came out to join us.
Seaside Plumbing has chosen the South Coastal Village Volunteers to be the beneficiary of 50 percent of their dispatch fees for the month of February.
Do More 24 Delaware begins March 6 at 6:00 p.m. and continues through March 7 at 6:00 p.m.. Do More 24 is a statewide 24-hour day of giving designed to help nonprofits raise funds, create awareness, and engage new donors. It is easy to donate: Go to https://www.domore24delaware.org/fundraisers/south-coastal-village-volunteers. Our goal is to raise $3,500.00 in 24 hours. SCVV can do that—and do more—with your help.
Spring Dine&Donate. Coming up on April 15 is our next Dine&Donate. We hope to see you at Northeast Seafood Kitchen, located in Ocean View, to enjoy good food and great company.
Fall Dine&Donate. SCVV is also looking forward to September 17 for our last Dine&Donate of 2025. Please plan on joining us at Fins, located in the Marketplace at Sea Colony.
SCVV Annual Fall Event. Please save October 23 for our Annual Fall Event. We will be celebrating the South Coastal Village Volunteers’ fifth anniversary.
Your support continues to be vital to the South Coastal Village Volunteers. Although members pay a fee to belong to SCVV, these fees alone do not cover all of our operating needs. For example, our fundraising efforts supplement costs for those members who cannot fully afford the fee, so that everyone can take advantage of SCCV’s volunteer services.
If you would like to join the Development Team, please let us know—we have lots of ideas and welcome even more. And don’t forget to join us for our fundraising events. We could not do what we do without you. Thank you!
