Development News
Dear CA family,
As the Director of Development at Christ Academy, it is my privilege to raise the funds that support the programs of the school that enable us to fulfill our mission: to produce academically well-prepared students who model the character of Jesus Christ. This is mostly done through grants, donors, events, and fundraisers. In the past, Christ Academy has participated in the community-wide Texoma Gives Fundraiser hosted by the WF Area Community Foundation. This is a one-day community event that any non-profit can participate in to not only raise funds for their organization, but to also grow awareness for their mission and share how they serve the community. Christ Academy has participated in Texoma Gives for many years in the past, but last year, Christ Academy decided to launch our own Giving Day in November, which raised $50,000. Though we also found much success in the past when we participated with Texoma Gives, we have found that supporting the other non-profits during Texoma Gives aligns more with our vision statement: . . . to prepare students to be engaged members of their communities who advance the Kingdom of God.
Texoma Gives allows us to encourage and educate our students of other local non-profit organizations that serve our community and allows the student and their family to engage with and support the needs of those organizations they choose.
Having our own Giving Day in November allows Christ Academy to focus on others in the community during Texoma Gives and allows us to address our fundraising needs at a different time that doesn't compete with other non-profits.
Christ Academy will host – for the second time – "CA GIVING DAY" on November 15th! With your help, we will have a successful day of giving that showcases our students, programs, and staff and raises funds that allow us to create more success stories for our students!
If you have any questions about Texoma Gives and how you can learn about and support the local non-profits, please let me know or visit this link Texoma Gives. If you would also like to help make our CA Giving Day on November 15th more successful, please feel free to contact me as well. I would be honored to have you as a part of our big day!
Thank you,
Kim McClellan, Director of Development
