Fundraising...and 5k's...and Garage Sales...Oh my!!!

Hello Family & Friends!

I hope this message finds you well and enjoying a wonderful weekend! I wanted to take a minute to update you on the preparations of our Brazos Fellowship team’s mission trip to Uganda this summer (July 9^th – 23^rd) with Imani Tumaini Upendo.

First, for those who have already donated and/or have been praying for our team, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! Your support means so much to our entire team!

Second, our team has a lot coming up in the next few days and weeks, and we could use more prayers and support! Keep reading for our upcoming milestones:

• We were blessed to get a wonderful rate for our plane fare, and in order to keep that price, we need to have $2,076 turned in by tomorrow – Monday, April 16^th. I am currently $726 short of that first fundraising goal. I ask that if you have been planning on making a donation, you do so today or tomorrow (if possible) through the Imani Tumaini Upendo website -- http://imani-africa.com/donate (make sure you put my name in the notes section to ensure the donation goes to my fundraising account).
• Quick side note, donating with an ACH donation will likely incur a smaller fee than paying with a credit card ($0.25 for ACH vs a percentage of the total donation for credit cards). Please remember – there is no “small donation” – every bit counts, even $10, $15, or $25 dollars goes a LONG way!!

• We have a 5k and 1 mile fun run that benefits our trip, coming up this Saturday, April 21^st, and we could use your support through participation, volunteering, and spreading the word. For more information, visit http://runforchange5k.com or http://www.active.com/running/college-station-tx/run-for-change-5k-2012!

 

• Our team garage sale will be Saturday, May 5^th in the church parking lot (226 Southwest Parkway; College Station, TX), and we will be collecting donations for that opportunity to fundraise. If you have anything you’d like to donate to the garage sale, please email me, and I’ll work with you on the details for pick-up/drop-off of items!

You are very important to me and this mission trip! If you would like more information about our trip or how you can help, please contact me via phone or email!

God bless,

Abby
