Annual Fund Gifts Further Campaign Goal!

Participate before May 31

"We’ll leave the light on for you" twangs the spokesperson for a chain of economy hotels. Did you know that when you make a gift to the Annual Fund, you’re actually “leaving the lights on” for Bethel students and faculty?

When it comes to stewardship for Bethel University, the first area of campaign participation for all our friends needs to be the Annual Fund. Year in and year out, this vital fund bridges the difference between tuition and actual operating costs. An Annual Fund gift helps pay the bills for the essentials of campus life—heat, electricity, water, and other crucial services—and provides critical funds toward campus ministries and other services that keep Bethel distinct.

Each year, our faithful friends give to keep Bethel’s doors open.

This year, we must raise $3.15 million by May 31, 2008—our fiscal year end—to reach our goal. (Annual Fund gifts also count toward the “Taking the Next Step” campaign total.) Can we count on you to help us “leave the light on” at Bethel?
