We've said it before, and we'll say it again: the NTEN community is pretty amazing. From sharing ideas to sharing rides to the NTC, this is an extremely generous community and the 2012 Champions Campaign is yet one more example. When we launched the campaign, our goal was to reach a total of $30,000.

You may recall that the NTEN community recently helped us raise over $15,000 to host more local events throughout 2012. We learned so much while running that campaign, but we also made lots of mis-steps along the way. One of the things we wished for as we navigated the campaign: benchmarks. Average gift: $65.23.
