DONOR HIGHLIGHT
I was first introduced to Jac Kalaher and Jess Swearingen, co-founders of St. Johns BFF, back in December 2023. They were looking for a nonprofit to support that focused on moms in some manner, when my lovely sister-in-law Katy Lynch (St. Johns BFF Partnership Development Director and now Chief Development Officer at PresentMoms) threw our tiny organization in the mix. After explaining our mission and swapping postpartum stories of our own, the BFFs immediately said they wanted to support our cause.
My first speaking gig was at their January luncheon, and they have been donating and hosting fundraisers ever since. Because of their leap of faith when their business was just starting out, PresentMoms has seen dramatic growth in this calendar year. They continue to be one of our most impactful donors, not just monetarily, but also by sharing our cause with all the businesses who are a part of their community. The majority of our other donors this year have been because of the word that is spread through St. Johns BFF.
Along with my liaison to their group, their Community Outreach Director the wonderfully beautiful and generous Jenny Faust, and their Chief Operations Officer (the"real boss" 😊) Melissa Downey, this group of five ladies has propelled PresentMoms in a way I only imagined a year ago. For that and more, they are our first Donor Highlight.
THANK YOU ST. JOHNS BFF... My forever gratitude will still never be enough 🤍.
If you feel led to donate to our organization, please reach out to me through DMs, email me, or head to our site to donate monetarily.
