Saint Nicholas Campaign Off to Promising Start, Grassroots Momentum Builds EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BASIL MOSSAIDIS A HEPA has completed the first quarter of a two-year capital campaign fundraising drive to help construct Saint Nicholas National Shrine at World Trade Center and the early results are promising. Districts and chapters have already responded by organizing events, establishing webpages or blog sites for the project, utilizing social media to raise awareness about the campaign, and even garnering media placement for their fundraising efforts in local mainstream newspapers.
