Capital Campaign Journey Continues: $5.25 Million Raised!

Brethren Village’s Capital Campaign titled “Upholding the Promise… Building for Tomorrow,” celebrates the more than 300 donors who have made gifts or pledges totaling $5.25 million toward our $6.2 million campaign goal! We are also pleased to announce that a recent $250,000 challenge pledge by an anonymous donor was met and exceeded just prior to our Dedication & Ribbon Cutting Event in November!

As we celebrate these successes we also realize that there is still work to be done and we need your help. Would you consider one of the giving options below to help us meet our goal?

5 Ways To Give:
1. Make a gift ‘In Memory’ or ‘In Honor’ of a family member or loved one
2. Make a gift online at www.bv.org/giving
3. Make a gift of life insurance
4. Add Brethren Village as a beneficiary to your IRA
5. Remember Brethren Village in your will with a specific dollar amount or by designating a percentage

Your gift will make a lasting impression as Brethren Village works with local Lititz artist Steve de Perrot of Pots by de Perrot to create a distinctive tile donor recognition wall for campaign gifts of $3,000 or more. You have the unique opportunity to greatly impact the mission of Brethren Village and be part of this once in a lifetime recognition wall.

For more information on “Ways To Give,” naming opportunities or the donor recognition wall, please contact the Development Office (717) 581-4316.

For additional information on our Capital Campaign, you can also download the campaign brochure and the full listing of naming opportunities by visiting www.bv.org/capital
