Senior Gift Campaign Planting the Philanthropy Seed

The Advancement Team at OCS Central Office along with Principal Gates Settle introduced a new campaign this year for the graduating seniors with a goal of raising $500. The seniors were called to the large gym where there was a presentation about philanthropy and what it means to get involved with philanthropic work at OCHS.

The seniors had a three-week opportunity to drop their donations off in the main office and if the goal was met, they were awarded a half day off from school. Our vision for this campaign was to help them realize the importance of contributing to their school. The future depends on them. Of course, it is not the size of the gift that matters, but the routine. Habitual giving is a great way to lay a foundation for what could be their children’s future. ♠
