10. Client Spotlight:
Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles
CCS has been privileged to work with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los
Angeles on two campaign initiatives. The first effort came during the More Than
Houses Campaign where the affiliate, then known as Habitat for Humanity Long
Beach/South Bay, raised over $10 million to substantially increase its own
building capacity. CCS was again engaged in 2008 with the early phases of a
comprehensive fundraising campaign to build and renovate over 500 homes in
the greater Los Angeles community. One of the focuses of the effort was the
successful completion of the Jimmy Carter Work Project. The overall $47.5
million goal was exceeded and more than $50 million was raised during the
campaign.

11. Client Spotlight:
MusiCares Foundation
Founded by The Recording Academy in 1989, MusiCares provides confidential
emergency health and human services and addiction recovery resources to
music people in need. MusiCares also provides workshops on health essentials,
medical and dental clinics, specific clinics for mammograms and flu shots, and
health fairs which include screenings and other general medical information and
services. CCS led the $10 million campaign to expand existing services, add a
new program of low-cost housing, and fund an endowment, in conjunction with
the organization's 20th Anniversary. Over $12 million was raised through this
campaign, the organization’s first campaign ever mounted.

12. Client Spotlight:
Pasadena Conservatory of Music
For nearly 30 years, the Pasadena Conservatory of Music has been the
community’s music school, proudly offering a comprehensive curriculum of music
study to students young and old. The Milestones: Building On Success campaign
was launched to address the Conservatory’s need to expand its campus, build its
programs, introduce new classes, provide new performance spaces, and
upgrade its existing buildings and mechanical systems. CCS partnered with the
Conservatory on a comprehensive feasibility and planning study and then
transitioned to campaign management on the organization’s $7.5 million
campaign. To date, the campaign has raised more than $6.5 million in less than
18 months and is on target to reach and exceed the campaign goal.

13. Client Spotlight:
Pacific Symphony
In just 33 years, the Pacific Symphony has emerged as perhaps the last great
American orchestra founded in the U.S. Pacific Symphony’s vision is to redefine
the ways in which an orchestra can transform its community, energize youth, and
excel artistically. Pacific Symphony envisioned a campaign designed to expand
its core programs and build its endowment. After completing a comprehensive
feasibility and planning study, CCS recommended a $25 million effort with $15
million identified for endowment and $10 million for programs. CCS partnered
with the Symphony to provide early campaign management services to help
launch the effort, including developing the case, building the prospect list,
recruiting leadership, and finalizing the campaign plan.

14. Client Spotlight:
San Joaquin Community Hospital
CCS was retained by San Joaquin Community Hospital to assist with the design
and implementation of a $5 million capital campaign for the construction of the
hospital's Cancer Center. The effort was designed to incorporate all constituents
in an attempt to achieve broad-based community support. Specific approaches
were developed for major gift prospects, hospital and foundation leaders,
employees, physicians, current and previous donors, grateful patients and other
members of the community. In just over a year, the campaign raised over $5.9
million, receiving more five-, six-, and seven-figure gifts than in the previous 11
years combined. The employee phase of the campaign raised more than
$500,000, and physicians have become engaged in philanthropy like never
before.

15. Client Spotlight:
St. Monica Catholic Community
After nearly ten years of planning and more than five years of fundraising, St.
Monica Catholic Community celebrated the opening of its Community Center
complex. The November 3, 2013 ceremony led by Archbishop Jose H. Gomez
signaled the beginning of a new era for the vibrant Westside Catholic
congregation.
The new 100,000 square-ft. facility, designed by Pica + Sullivan Architects, Ltd,
includes the Tina and Rick Caruso Community Center, Grand Pavilion and Grand
Patio, the Carol G. Simon Child and Student Center, and a 175-car, two-and-ahalf level subterranean parking structure. To date, St. Monica Catholic community
has raised over $30.8 million toward the project through Celebrating Our
Blessings, Building Our Future, Together. CCS is proud to have partnered with
St. Monica on its extraordinary campaign.

16. Client Spotlight:
UC Irvine Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center
CCS was retained by the University of California, Irvine's Chao Family
Comprehensive Cancer Center to conduct a comprehensive planning study and
readiness assessment in preparation for its $110 million campaign to support
research, faculty recruitment and retention, expanded clinical programs, and
expanded clinical trials. Following the conclusion of the study, CCS was retained
to provide management and consulting services to the campaign and to help
establish the fundraising department for Cancer Center development. To date,
nearly $50 million has been raised, thanks in large measure to an active
committee of 29 faculty leaders, commitment from University leadership, a
talented staff, and a strong base of grateful patients and community
philanthropists. The campaign is scheduled to run through the end of 2015.
