FRC aimed to sell VIP packages at $2,000 (entry for 2 +1 complimentary gold) and $5,000 (entry for 2 + 4 complimentary gold). During the 2017 Leadership Summit (October 20-21st) in Las Vegas, NV, the MPC Committee and FRC gave an outstanding presentation which resulted in record breaking fundraising with sales of VIP packages. The MPC Chair, Ba Nkom Gwanbidbila’s presentation focused on the MPC progress and the urgency of donations to facilitate the completion of the project by the end of 2018. The members in attendance were excited and motivated to donate after viewing the MPC landscape work-in-progress images. The Fundraising committee’s presentation focused largely on selling VIP Packages. The energy of the room was filled with enthusiasm and 28 VIP packages were sold on site. The breakdown included: 22 exciting $2,000 VIP packages, 5 sensational $5,000 VIP packages and 1 extraordinary $7,500 VIP package. This sums up to a total of $76,500 raised in one hour! Thus, another record fundraiser during the BCA-USA Leadership summit, surpassing the previous year’s record of $50,000+ raised. Following the 2017 Leadership Summit, the sales of VIP packages continued with more $2000 packages sold and an astonishing record package of $10,000! BCA-USA Donors are indeed incredible! In addition to fundraising during the 2017 Leadership Summit, the FRC launched the colors for the Pearl Anniversary as follows: Ladies – Purple, Platinum & Pearls; Gentlemen – Charcoal Gray, Purple & Black. Moreover, the FRC planned a fantastic Tour Bus of the Las Vegas Strip. The experience was memorable and gave members a fun night-out after a long working session.
