Inspire, Fall 2003

H ow often have you heard that the key to life is answering a few essential questions? The key to becoming a partner in Cedarville’s Annual Fund is as simple as answering a few essential questions: Who? What? When? Where? Why? Who benefits from gifts given to the Annual Fund? Students! The desire to help students is the driving force behind gifts to the annual fund! What are my options? 1. Give a one-time gift through the mail or online when we send a letter to you. 2. Become involved in one of our giving clubs: Torch Club $100+ per year Charter Society $500+ per year President’s Associates $1,000+ per year Chairman’s Council $5,000+ per year 3. Give a one-time gift through the mail or online when you read an Inspire article. 4. Take advantage of matching gifts. Contact your human resources department or visit our Web site to see if your employer matches gifts. Some employers not only match your gift — they may triple it! 5. Give a one-time gift when a Cedarville student calls you. 6. Give a one-time gift anytime! When can I give? You can send a gift at any time of the day or night, seven days a week, any month of the year. The annual fund works 24/7 for students! Where does my gift do the greatest good? Students do not pay the entire cost of their education. No student at Cedarville EVER has. And, gifts touch everything that touches students — faculty, educational resources, student aid, Christian ministries, resident hall mentoring programs, chapel services, and more. Why should you and I give? Because Cedarville branded us for life, and students today need all the good that you and I experienced while we were here. If you have any questions, we’d love to hear from you.
