Young Life Fundraiser
Wow! What a fun evening was had at the Hewitt’s home to raise money for YoungLife on Friday!! Thank you, Brad and Sue, for hosting and providing quite the spread! Conor expressed his goals for YoungLife as the number of kids are growing! He would like to increase the yearly budget which would include bringing Jonah Davidson on full-time. He is also praying about a van to use to transport kids to different events or simply getting them to church on Sundays.
It was reported to me yesterday that the fundraiser was a huge success, and a matching grant has been offered!
From the day of the Hewitt fundraising event on 9/13/2024 through Dec 31st, 2026, our foundation will match up to $45,000 in new dollars committed from existing funders over and above their current commitment or any new funding from first-time program funders in a dollar-for-dollar 1-to-1 ratio. We pray this financial gift and the efforts it allows glorify God by bringing many new teenagers into a new relationship with Jesus Christ.
If you would like to financially support YoungLife – Telluride, please see the attached flyer. If you have any questions about giving, please contact Carl Carter who handles the accounting for Young Life – Telluride. carl@cthresources.com
Thank you for your consideration in helping grow the funds for YL. However, please continue to pray for the kids that come to Alpine Chapel, our leaders, and open hearts to accept Jesus!
