Donations in Honor of Grant
In lieu of flowers, donations were made to BTG4Water in honor of Grant, totaling $17,315. In the future, we will be sharing how this money will be used to help our thirsty world. I am forever grateful for each one of you. I try to write thank you notes to each one of you, but please forgive me if I miss one. I thank each anonymous giver. In living and dying we can make a difference for good.
Fall Boutique Results
Even with extreme smoke, soaring temperatures, and COVID-19, shoppers came to buy gifts that made a difference for good by providing 92 Africans clean water, sanitation, and training in hygiene for life. BTG was able to raise $4,625 (including 10% from vendors and donations). I thank each vendor, the National Charity League, and the shoppers for making this possible. Together we are making a difference for good.
12th annual walk4water
On April 20th, 2020 the 12th Annual Walk4 Water Become Virtual
12th Annual Walk4Water cancelled, but the spirit of the event was not.
"Our goal should be to live life in radical amazement,...to get up in the morning & look at the world in a way that takes nothing for granted. Everything is phenomenal; everything is incredible; never treat life casually." -Abraham Heschel
I must admit I have learned a lot about the meaning of this quote during the pandemic. I fought against the idea of cancelling the Annual Walk4Water (W4W), but it was cancelled. A letter was written to the Corporate Sponsors that had given to the W4W to tell them of the event cancellation and that they could request a refund or consider their gift as a donation. Every company decided to consider their gift as a donation. I was amazed! I began receiving registration forms for the W4W along with donations. I was amazed! The idea came to me to encourage people to do a Virtual Walk4Water and they did. I was amazed! God inspired many to give and they did. I was amazed!
