Hey friends, I just wanted to briefly update you on my fundraising status. Since I last posted I have collected an additional $742.50 in one time donations as well a $100 monthly donation with a 6-month committment (a total of $600). With these contributions I'm happy to let you know that I've passed $1000, what I considered to be the first big benckmark, and I am halfway to meeting my first deadline with a grand total of $1790.50! Here are a couple of other things that I would like for you to be aware of:
- If you live in the Knoxville area be sure to keep next weekend (January 27-29) on your calendars clear! Salsarita's has confirmed that weekend is available for my fundraiser. They will me give 15% of the reciepts over the course of the weekend. I'll be distributing flyers during the next week to make people in the area aware of the event. (I'm going to need some help with this so I would be greatful to anybody that can help, especially over this weekend since I will be working) If you happen to get a flyer be sure to take it with you when you go during that weekend or if you don't get one and want to go I can get one for you so that your purchase counts toward my fundraiser. Look for more of these types of events to happen in the coming months!
- For those who would like to give but aren't sure how there are several ways:
- You can send me a check made out to Adventures in Missions (it's a 501(c)3 non-profit organization so your gift is tax deductable!), and I can forward it on to the main office.
- I can give you support card for you to send with a check to the main office at your convenience. (Note: It is strongly recemmended that you do not send cash in the mail.)
- In the grey bar on the left side of this blog there is a link that says 'Support Me!' that will take you to an online giving form.
- Finally, please continue to keep these deadlines in mind going forward. Remember that these amounts have to be in my account by the day listed, not just pledged, so it is best to send your donation a few weeks before each dealine so that there is plenty of time for them to get processed and applied to my account.
- $3,500 – Due 5/5/2012 (2 weeks before Training Camp)
- $6,500 – Due 6/17/2012 (2 weeks prior to leaving for the field)
- $11,000 – Due 10/1/2012 (End of 3 months on the field)
- $15,500 (full amount) – Due 1/1/2013 (End of 6 months on the field)
As always, thank you to those who are praying as well as those who have already given.
