Kick Off Our New Year By Renewing Your Membership!
It’s time to kick off our 2024-2025 year supporting POETIC!
POETIC’s mission – breaking the cycle of vulnerability and victimization in youth – is truly compelling, and we are honored to be partnering with them this year. Visit ASC’s website to learn more about POETIC and the three critical initiatives that we will be fundraising to support.
Please help us start the year strong by joining or renewing your ASC membership! You can do this on ASC’s website in less than 5 minutes. This year, all payment methods (including credit cards) are accepted on ASC’s website.
Last year, our members raised more than $72,000 in membership dues alone. Historically, many of our members have paid membership dues on North Texas Giving Day (NTGD) through NTGD’s website. However, this year and moving forward, we ask that members renew on or before NTGD (September 19) directly through ASC’s website or by using the attached form.
Communities Foundation of Texas, which created and manages NTGD, is an amazing organization that does an incredible amount of good in our community. In our experience, however, donations made through NTGD’s website are not distributed to our beneficiaries until late November or early December. Several big-ticket expenses, including deposits for our luncheon and the speaker, must be paid in late October.
We learned last year that NTGD will recognize donations made directly to a charity on or before September 19 if the donor’s intent is to contribute toward the charity’s NTGD total. This means that we can renew our memberships on or before September 19, and POETIC will have immediate access to those funds while still qualifying for NTGD’s prizes – a win-win!
We have set another lofty fundraising goal this year: $430,000 (net). Our collective action as ASC members is a powerful thing, and I know we can achieve this goal together! With that in mind, please consider “stepping up” your membership dues this year. If you were a Leadership Member last year, please consider renewing as a Leadership Gold Member. If you were a Sustaining Member, please consider renewing as a Leadership Member. And if you were a General Member, please consider renewing as a Sustaining Member. Remember that every dollar paid in membership dues is a direct donation to POETIC that gets us one step closer to our fundraising goal.
Finally – be sure to visit ASC’s website to learn more about our upcoming events and how to join a committee. We look forward to seeing you at an ASC event soon and working with you this year!

Wednesday, October 9, will be the perfect day to buy because Stanley Korshak is generously offering all ASC members a 15% discount on regularly priced purchases the entire day of the ASC Goes Couture event. Contact Devon Sharp for the discount code! It will work in-person at the event and online!
