1 2013 Annual Giving Report Creating lasting change...

2 Year in Review Once again, young people have been a major focus of this year s giving. In the area of education, millions of dollars were given to provide school buildings and scholarships for children to receive the education best suited to them, both locally and across the world. Significant funds were provided to a program that introduces local high school students to the field of computer science, and even more to an organization that brings opportunities for open discussions of truth at major universities across the country. Close to another million dollars was provided to groups that protect vulnerable children, including a chapel building that serves hurting children and their families, pregnancy care centers that seek to care for unborn children and their parents, a group that ministers to fatherless boys, and an organization that provides opportunities for at-risk children to receive tutoring and spiritual and emotional support. In addition to all of this, we continued to give to local arts organizations and groups that work to help those in need. See the enclosed report for more details, and thank you for your interest in the work we are doing Annual Giving Report "1
