Inspire, Fall 2006

Remember those “Choose Your Own Adventure” books? It was so exciting to be the main character in the stories, making critical decisions about whether or not to open the pirate chest of gold now or find a way to sneak it off the island! The stories shifted and changed with each page turn until, at last, the ending was revealed. Cedarville University is blessed to offer students an array of choices that influence the way their stories unfold: To major in nursing, turn to page ... To lead a discipleship group, turn to page ... These and hundreds of other choices make each student’s Cedarville experience unique and memorable. Some students, however, come upon the end of the semester and have far more difficult choices to make: To borrow another student loan, turn to page ... To withdraw from school, turn to page ... It seems like these students should have somewhere else to turn. The Cedarville Fund supports academic programs, ministry opportunities, chapel programming and — a particularly critical need — financial aid that allows some of our finest students to continue their education at Cedarville University. And by designating your gift to the program of your choice, you can be part of their adventure!

Has Your IRA Benefited from Years of Growth? Do you have more IRA income than you need? Consider this simple, easy way to make a gift to Cedarville University: If you are over age 70 1/2 and don’t want to make mandatory distributions, you may annually gift any amount up to $100,000 of your IRA to charity. It's very easy to make the gift by directing your custodian to transfer a portion of your required minimum distribution directly to charity. The best part is that your IRA gift is made tax-free.
