Putting the FUN in Fundraising!
Celeste Hubert
A native North Carolinian, Celeste Hubert grew up in the foothills of the mountains and in 1992 earned her degree in Political Science and Communication from NC State University. An internship with The National Congressional Club developed her love for fundraising, and she served as a US Senate Director of Scheduling on Capitol Hill before becoming a Texan with her marriage to Martin Hubert in 1997. As the Regional Director of Development over seven states for Father Flanagan’s Boys Town, she honed skills in major and planned giving and was the highest-grossing fundraiser in the nation.
She is a recent VP of Communications of the Young Men’s Service League and the National Charity League and currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Women’s Symphony League and the Bryker Woods Neighborhood Association. Celeste is the 2023-24 Co-Chair of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Student Visionaries of the Year campaign, which is predicted to raise $750,000 this February. Recent fundraising accomplishments include a $300,000 success as the 2022 Sponsorship Chair of the WSL Jewel Ball, a $300,000+ windfall for the 2023 Austin Symphony Maestro’s Dream, and a $100,000 Challenge Grant for Honduras Good Works, resulting in the largest annual income in the charity’s 24-year history.
Celeste is proudest of her family and friendships, which include her 26-year marriage and children Annabelle Grier, a 22-year-old student at Texas A&M College Station, and Patrick, an 18-year-old senior at Austin High. Her book club has been together for 17 years and includes eight women who are as close as sisters. A reformed triathlete and half-marathoner, she currently enjoys backpacking, European travel, and frequent visits to Walt Disney World.
With the highest standards of ethics and an unwavering positivity, Celestial Strategies will guide your non-profit or corporation into never-before-seen levels of achievement in fundraising and public relations.
