New Day Foundation for Families Announces New Day NEXT
Young professionals group to host brunch following 5K run
New Day Foundation for Families is proud to announce the launch of New Day NEXT, a young professionals’ group of passionate and motivated friends designed to cultivate the next generation of philanthropy, along with the group’s first event – a brunch following New Day’s 5K Run on Sat., July 29. NEXT aims to inspire the incoming generation of emerging leaders to advocate for New Day today, ensuring its legacy for tomorrow. NEXT is built on three pillars: fun-raising, advocacy, and volunteering.
“The New Day NEXT initiative represents the embodiment of comradery and compassion, as we come together to make a meaningful difference in the lives of families battling cancer,” said NEXT co-founding council member Sarah Smith. “We designed NEXT to connect up-and-coming and established professionals to turnkey donation, mentorship and relationship building opportunities. It is our hope we will cultivate the next generation of New Day donors, giving them the power to create lasting change, all while building lifelong relationships and having a little fun along the way.”
NEXT will make its debut this summer in conjunction with the Color of Wellness 5K Run, which benefits New Day Foundation, by hosting a post-race brunch at O'Connors Public House in Downtown Rochester on Sat., July 29. Those interested can join the NEXT team in the race, or simply meet up afterward for the brunch. Show your race bib or t-shirt to get 10 percent off your bill from 9:30- 11:00 am.
NEXT’s membership model drives instant donations and engages passionate members. Interested participants can visit New Day’s website at www.foundationforfamilies.org/new-day-next. NEXT is led by its founding Leadership Council: Jordann Andrusiak of West Bloomfield (Synergy Capital Solutions), Amber Beauchamp of Sterling Heights (City of Rochester Hills), Katie Bryk of Clinton Township (BSP Law), Whitney Bunn of Royal Oak (Rockford construction), Danielle Leath of Shelby Township (Marsh McLennan Agency), Eric Nahat of Ann Arbor (Synergy Capital Solutions), Mike Pietila of Utica (Nebo Lending) and Sarah Smith of Lake Orion (Tiicker).
New Day NEXT co-founding members join together to do Radical Good for families facing cancer.
