#GivingTUSCday - November 28, 2017
Tuscarora
November 28th was a big day for Tuscarora.
On the nationally celebrated Giving Tuesday, Tuscarora decided to hold its own one day fundraising campaign called #GivingTUSCday. On this day, the Tuscarora family pulled together and achieved the biggest single day of fundraising in our history.
"We were excited to realize we were going to be successful in reaching two of our three goals," said Brian Abrahamsen. "We raised $36,520 from 106 different donors. Even more excitingly we gained 10 new Friends of Tuscarora - those individuals who give to Tuscarora on a recurring basis. I am so humbled by how blessed we are by our guests, donors, and volunteers who used this day to express how much they love Tuscarora."
In Matthew 6:21 Jesus states, "Where your treasure is there your heart will be also." We know that the success of this day is only possible because Tuscarora has had the privilege over the last 40+ years of being a place where God changes hearts. Thank you for lending your support to the work we do each and every day.
Below, watch the stories of Brian Abrahamsen, Lindsay Rosado, and Carol Anderson who want to tell you about some of the recent work happening on the grounds, and the impact of current programs.
"It's a blessing and a privilege for me to be able to serve at a place where my life was changed for eternity."
"It was the summer of 2002. The first summer that Senum-Thompson Center was open and I was struck by how personal the gospel was made to me."
"So much has changed and yet so much has remained the same where God meets people here and He has changed lives and legacies for eternity."
