The VOE 2013 $20 Challenge raises over $15,000!
On behalf of the entire Visions of Eagles Foundation committee,
I would like to thank you for your gracious contribution
to our Annual Twenty Dollar Challenge.
In today’s economy, it is extremely difficult to raise funds.
Last year we decided it would be easier to ask a little from a lot,
rather than a lot from a little.
This worked very effectively and our 2013 contributions totaled
just over $15,000 from 139 individuals, families and businesses!
Our total care giving for 2013 was in excess of $30,000 to individuals
and families in the Nazareth Area School District.
Since October 2008 we have provided over $127,000.
As you continue to support VOE it is important that you understand that
for every dollar contributed, ninety-five cents is utilized to help others.
As we have no paid staff, only 5% is required for operating expenses.
We will always be very sensitive about being good custodians of
your kind support of our Foundation.
We are blessed to be a blessing!
Respectfully,
Thomas W. Fehnel
Founder and President
2012 Visions of Joy Program
We had another successful Visions of Joy program this year! We provided gifts to 29 families with 77 children and more than $2300 was spent to purchase their three gifts. Boscov’s did another wonderful job this year by providing wrapping services and special sales for our program. BJ Toys also donated stuffed animals and several other toy donations were received. Thank you to everyone who helped make this Christmas special for these families!
The VOE $20 Challenge Raises Over $6,000!
In early November, our Committee mailed these postcards to residents of the Nazareth School District, friends, acquaintances, classmates and business owners challenging them to make a $20 (or more) donation to VOE. Our requests for help were overwhelming in 2012 and we expect this to continue in 2013. We are thrilled to tell you that the $20 Challenge raised over $6,000. The Visions of Eagles Committee has decided that this challenge will be one of our annual fundraisers. A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who donated to this challenge. Your donation will assist us to continue to help those in need in YOUR community.
