Success Stories
Lackey Free Clinic
The Curtis Group is proud to have assisted Lackey Free Clinic of Yorktown, Virginia, with the planning and management of its Capital and Endowment Campaign over the past three years. We are pleased to announce that the campaign’s initial $1.5 million goal, which was determined by a feasibility study, has been exceeded by almost $100,000 and that the organization is moving toward a new goal of $2 million. The money raised will go to expand the clinic’s programs, staff, and facilities, as well as grow the organization’s endowment.
Our consultant Diane Cavazos, who worked closely with Lackey on its campaign, credits the organization’s exceptional leadership with exceeding the campaign goal during these challenging economic times. “This achievement truly says something about the relationships the clinic’s staff and volunteers have built with their donors,” Cavazos says. “Even in difficult times, they’ve stood behind the clinic financially.”
Yet the clinic’s Campaign Steering Committee chair, Dave Anderson, still asserts, “If we, as an organization, were left on our own to reach our funding goal, we would probably not have succeeded. The Curtis Group was critical in helping the board stay on task to reach our goal.”

“If we were left on our own to reach our funding goal, we probably would not have succeeded. The Curtis Group was critical in helping the board stay on task to reach our goal. I don’t know of any board that likes to ask for money. The Curtis Group actually likes to raise funds and helps energize an organization to fulfill one of its most important functions, maintaining its financial viability.”
