Giving Tuesday

Nov 30, 2021

It’s not about what you get, but what you give. Sound familiar? On this Giving Tuesday, we want to focus on what you GIVE and also recognize all the ways in which you GIVE. As Darren Burch of the Bethany Backers and other alumni groups have shared, financial support of Bethany is vital but it is the gift of your time, talents, wisdom, passion and commitment to Bethany that is vital in our ability to further the mission that is Bethany. These intangible gifts not only vary in form but come from all walks of life---students, parents, faculty, staff, alumni, donors, churches, the community, friends and more! And don't discount the indirect giving; the influence of Bethany is felt when alumni share their talents beyond Bethany in their own workplace, community or church. Take some time over the holiday season to acknowledge your contributions or consider the various ways in which you might give because it is never too late to reconnect.  Or, you can even share with us how you have given beyond Bethany so we can share your story with others.
