2020 Fundraiser
Bridges To College Thankful For Successful Fundraising Campaign
While 2020 was certainly a challenging and interesting year, it has also served as a reminder to count one’s blessings and to be thankful for the good in the world. As with many non-profits, Bridges To College was concerned how the pandemic would affect the ability to serve our community. Fundraising during normal times can be challenging for non-profits, so the concern was great. When the decision was made to postpone its annual golf fundraiser in June, The Karlh McCallister Memorial, the organization decided to call on its closest supporters for a fundraising campaign in lieu of a golf outing.
The McCallister Family and the Hansbarger Companies generously pledged to match all donations dollar for dollar up to $5,000 to help Bridges To College meet its goal of $15,000 to replenish the funds normally raised from the goal outing. Due to the generous support of the community and its supporters, Bridges To College is thankful and grateful to report the campaign was successful in meeting the goal.
