Introducing 10 For The Future! Support Survivors and their Families for Years to Come
SURVIVORS is pleased to announce the launch of our 2023 “10 For The Future” campaign. We are seeking 10 forward-thinking SURVIVORS supporters to be a Healing Hero by committing to our mission’s longevity and sustainability through a multi-year giving pledge.
Already a Healing Society member? You can be a part of “10 For The Future” by extending your pledge for an additional 5 years of giving. Extending or renewing your pledge is as easy as signing our simple Letter of Intent form to modify or restart your pledge. Just ask us how!
All “10 For The Future” Healing Heroes will be acknowledged at our September 14th Annual Event Luncheon. Through your pledge, YOU can ensure the healing of survivors and their families for years to come. To learn more about becoming a Healing Hero through “10 For the Future,” please email [email protected] or [email protected] for more information.
WHY I JOINED:
“I have been a volunteer Board Member of SURVIVORS filling the CFO role and head the Finance Committee for several years. In that capacity I carry the responsibility to ensure we build long-term funding streams and financial stability & security for SURVIVORS. When they asked if I’d be part of the “25 for 25” campaign this year I immediately said yes! I have joined the Healing Society with a new 5-year pledge and I am honored to part of 25 new, increased, or extended Healing Society members as we celebrate the amazing 25th anniversary of our organization. I know that multi-year pledges help SURVIVORS have more security and visibility in order to plan into the future and I am honored to be part of sustaining this unique healing organization that makes our community more welcoming.”
– Loren Tarmo
SURVIVORS Thanks Our Healing Society Members who have made five-year pledges of $1,000 or more per year.
