»National Honor For Prevent BlindnessPrevent Blindness Is "1-In-Four"
Inner-office memos don't usually make for exciting reading. Nonetheless, we jumped for joy when this one (below) landed in our inbox.
We
were so excited by the news that we wanted to figure out how we might
be able to re-create our excitement upon getting it. Here is what we
came up with...
Imagine that you are plowing through your
emails. Getting rid of those you never really wanted... and searching
for the precious few nuggets that make your day.
Here is the one that made our day. . .

RE: We Got 4-Star Rating From Charity Navigator! Attached
is a letter from Charity Navigator congratulating PBA & Affiliates
on achieving a 4-star rating for sound fiscal management. This
coveted rating is awarded to approximately a quarter of the charities
evaluated by Charity Navigator. The rating indicates that PBA executes
its mission in a fiscally responsible way and outperforms most other
charities in America. The designation differentiates PBA from its
peers and demonstrates to the public it is worthy of their trust.
Once
available, we will display the 4-Star logo on our website and in our
printed materials. Check it out! www.charitynavigator.org
Congratulations to all in the PBA Family. A well deserved honor.
Hugh & Tammy

As
"boring" as it may sound, we really do put a lot of time and effort
into making sure that every nickel you trust us with is invested
in the most judicious, responsible and effective way possible.
The way you would do it if you operated Prevent Blindness Mid-Atlantic.
So,
to get this kind of recognition from the prestigious
CharityNavigator.org is a really big deal to us. It means that we have
achieved something that only one-in-four non-profit organizations ever
achieve. Here is the letter.
And thanks for sharing in our little celebration!
