As a Development Director, I was responsible for leading the Million Dollar Day for Scouting, the kickoff to the annual Friends of Scouting campaign.  This event consisted of two inspirational breakfasts held over 24-hours that grew to raise over one million dollars annually.  This event concept was brought to Great Lakes Field Service Council as the On My Honor Breakfast, which is still held annually.  In Palmetto Council, we have used a Distinguished Citizen Dinner to raise over half of our annual Friends of Scouting goal in one night. I successfully rebranded the event away from a well-known keynote speaker to reduce cost and provide a greater net return to the council.
