#GivingTUESDAY | Help us help Students

11/26/2018

Hello CCSC family! Tomorrow we are participating in Giving Tuesday with the goal of raising $5000 and 5 monthly giving partners. As you all might know, this ministry is supported by churches, friends, and alumni -- people who love this ministry and want to see it continue here at ATU.

Due to the nature of things, financial support comes and goes as churches and families work to establish their budgets for the new year, and as they see what they can and can't do. It's a normal part of raising support for ministries and groups such as ours. As a result we are always looking for churches and alumni that want to partner with us to help support this ministry. Giving Tuesday is one of those times we push for donations and also look to find monthly giving partners. 

Will you prayerfully consider partnering with our ministry? Your contribution -- whether it's one-time or monthly -- will make a huge impact! You can donate $5 or $500 or whatever is best for you! Any amount can be chosen for either the one-time donations or in setting up a monthly giving amount. Every little bit helps!!!

Please let me know if you have any questions or need help. Thank you all for your continued love and support!
​
Visit ccscatu.org/give to make a one-time donation or become a monthly giving partner.
