Going "Over the Edge" in Memory of Judy Klinck #ServeLikeJudy
Thanks for visiting my fundraising page! If I raise $1,000 for United Way of Cumberland County, I am going "Over the Edge" of the Cape Fear Valley Medical Arts Center in Downtown Fayetteville Cool Spring Downtown District in memory of Judy Klinck, a fierce servant leader whose loving reach continues to be felt worldwide. #ServeLikeJudy
Some of the AMAZING non-profits benefiting from your donations are United Way partners like Fayetteville Urban Ministry, Cumberland County Communicare, ServiceSource, Vision Resource Center and RapeCrisis of Cumberland County to name a few. But there's one special non-profit that will always have my heart! Connections of Cumberland County is where I met beautiful Judy!
If you know me, you know I'm a little rough around the edges! Judy
saw it from the day I walked into an interview with the founding board
in early 2015. In my 5-year service as Executive Director, Judy
taught me what servant leadership looks like, advocated for me when I
had challenges in acclimating to executive leadership, accepted that I
was just going to be my quirky self in service (I think she found it
comical), and connected me with so many people in the community who
opened doors for the Day Resource Center. One of those doors was the
United Way of Cumberland County. In 2018, the organization extended
opportunities to connect with new non-profits for potential
partnership. We had to get this right to get in that door!!! Judy's
coaching, reviewing the application and providing critical feedback
was invaluable! As a 4-year old blooming agency, the United Way valued
Connections' mission, impact and model and selected to partner with
the Day Resource Center, strengthening the sustainability of
Connections and paving the way for greater collaboration and resource
development that is still enjoyed today and hopefully for many years
to come! I can hear her now pumping me up and laughing when we got the
United Way partnership news, "You make this look easy! I know how
hard it is. You make this 4-year old non-profit look like it's
10!" So grateful to have enjoyed time with such a phenomenal
woman! Miss you Judy! Hope I get to go "Over the Edge" in
your memory! I imagine you'll be cheering us all on from above!
