In 2017 Giving Tuesday = Giving Canoesday
Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of collaboration and holiday generosity. This year’s event will take place tomorrow, November 28, the Tuesday following Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Giving Tuesday is a day devoted to charitable giving and we hope you’ll consider helping us reach our goal!
This year we’ll be raising funds to purchase more canoes so that we can safely accommodate the growing number of children we serve. We are also hoping to purchase a few Jon boats to make our waterfront more accessible to those with mobility restrictions.
Canoeing invigorates the mind, body, and the spirit. Canoeing is an unstructured time for campers to explore God’s creation and go where they choose. Canoeing gives them the chance to try something new, often while building new skills and relationships along the way.
A gift of $500 will enable us to purchase one new boat! Donors who give $500 or more will have the opportunity to name that boat in honor or memory of someone. This is a great opportunity for churches, organizations, and individuals! Funny names are encouraged. Your Aunt Patty would probably love knowing that generations of kids will experience creation in a canoe named after her!
Thanks in advance for your support! In this season of Thanksgiving, we are so grateful for the many folks that support our ministry.
Sincerely,
All your friends at Ferncliff
