Bio
Laura MacNeill, M.B.A.
I worked with Mary in her role as Regional Campaign Director for Light the Night at the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Mary was knowledgeable, driven and focused on revenue growth. Mary was a pleasure to work with and always willing to step-up and help (above and beyond her regular duties). Mary and I collaborated on the launch of a national retail partnership which activated along the entire east coast!

I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Mary McCusker for the past two years. Due to the nature of our work, we had many opportunities to collaborate. Mary is a consummate fundraiser, caring coach/mentor and a compassionate, yet driven leader. Mary’s reputation within LLS as one of the very top development professionals is well deserved having built the largest revenue-producing Light The Night campaign organization-wide during her time at the National Capital Chapter. Drawing on her extensive training and strategic planning skills and experience, she was asked to lead the Mid-Atlantic Region’s walk campaign posting some of the largest net growth in the country, including the development of multiple large national and retail sponsors exceeding $1M in value. There is little Mary will NOT do to help her fundraising team—together we developed an advice column that addressed common challenges through humor and best practice implementation which was promoted system wide, driving performance during the campaign’s most significant growth year in a decade. With Mary you can count on the highest caliber of professionalism, exceptional business acumen, thorough on-the-ground fundraising expertise and thoughtful feedback. I recommend her without reservation.
