Not only did ASU secure a total of $38,175 in contributions, which is an average of $459.94 per student, but they also placed emphasis on involving AH students in the fundraising process. Students participated in their AHMI 2008 Campaign course (learning fundraising strategy and etiquette as they manage an “ask” campaign) and surpassed their goal of $32,000, raising $35,175. ASU students led the “environmental team” for the Iron Man competition, earning $1,500. Students also earned money by seeking out student government funding, partnering with local restaurants, and working concession stands. Accepting the award on behalf of ASU were AH Campus/Executive Director Dr. Robert F. Ashcraft, Program Coordinator Stacey Freeman, and the ASU AH students in attendance.</p><separator></separator><p> More than 1,000 students, faculty, nonprofit and corporate leaders took part in AHMI 2009, a capstone educational experience for college students earning AH Certification in Nonprofit Leadership and Management.</p><separator></separator><p><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /><meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document" /><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 12" /><meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 12" /><link href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5Cacohara1%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml" rel="File-List" /><link href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5Cacohara1%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_themedata.thmx" rel="themeData" /><link href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5Cacohara1%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_colorschememapping.xml" rel="colorSchemeMapping" /><style>  </style></p><separator></separator><p>Founded in 1980, ASU American Humanics is a program of the School of Community Resources and Development, in association with the ASU Lodestar Center for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Innovation (formerly the Center for Nonprofit Leadership and Management).
