No matter the weather outside, it’s been sunshine inside the Story Tapestries office thanks to great steps forward over this past week! We’ve had a special big donor commit $10,000 to supporting Story Tapestries. In addition to gifts from several community members, we’ve now reached 73% of our year-end campaign goal. We’re so pleased! And it gets better – this donor has pledged that if we reach our goal, they’ll give an additional $2,000 BONUS! Reaching our goal means empowering Story Tapestries to reach over 1,300 more community members with custom-designed arts-integrated programs. What's more, a significant portion of the funds from our new donor will be going toward building a new webiste, which will serve as the launchpad for our Virtual Classroom!
For many members of the Story Tapestries family, the month of December is a mad dash to get ready for the Holidays. For others, it represents a time to reflect on the year and spend time with family. As we approach the end of 2016, we’re taking a moment to look back on everything we’ve accomplished over the last year.
We do a lot with a little – even the smallest contribution can have an exponential impact when it comes to these children’s lives and those of the communities they live in. Thank you to everyone in the Story Tapestries family whose generosity makes our programs possible for years to come. We're looking forward, with your help and the help of our new major donor, to starting the foundation for our Virtual Classroom in 2017.
