Gillis Ambassadors
It is the mission of the Gillis Ambassadors to provide support to the Gillis Center through
Friend & Relationship Building as well as Fund Raising efforts;
 
                     Goals:

                        To provide an avenue to increase awareness of Gillis

                        To provide an avenue to increase fund raising

                        To provide an avenue for annual giving to Gillis

                        To provide an avenue where volunteers could be cultivated

 

Whether you have time to volunteer or just want to support Gillis, the Gillis Ambassadors is the organization for you. One size does not fit all but one organization might. Many of you will simply pay the annual dues of $50.00 and not give Gillis another thought, while others will want to come to campus for various fun activities. Still others will want to get involved in our school, emergency shelter or residential facility. While still others might like to host house parties and raise money. It is up to you. As little or as much commitment as you can give. Please contact George Robbins at George.Robbins@gillis.org or 816-508-3548 for more information or fill out the membership application below and mail it in. I look forward to meeting you.
