PROGRESS TO GOAL
|
|
We have reached $823K of our $2.3M goal in received or committed gifts, and we have a few lakes and portages to go! Our Spring Appeal recently went out, asking our community to help students bloom through contributing to our scholarship fund - donate today so we can provide more financial support to more students this summer! If you are a past donor, consider giving 10 percent more this year to help your contribution go even further. If you are a new donor, consider starting your donor relationship by joining our monthly giving program in the Keel Crew (see below)! With your help - VOBS can do more than it ever thought possible!
