Matching Gift Results

Well, it's June 1 and the matching gift opportunity for OWLS supporters is over. Thanks to all who faithfully answered the call, made a timely investment in the lives of disinherited urban youth, and who saw an immediate doubling of the impact made by their sponsorship dollars.

***20 Sponsorships Earned***

The final number of sponsorships earned during this campaign stands at 20! This is terrific at this point in early summer but it also leaves us with almost 50 more kids needing full sponsorships in order to participate in the OWLS Adventures for which they have signed up.

If you meant to mail a check but just didn't get around to it, or wanted to first be sure your support is as crucial a need as it is, please do not delay any longer. As I was explaining to one of the young men by the lake this afternoon, not immediately deciding to do something usually equates to deciding not to do it. Whether you feel led to contribute a few hundred or maybe several thousand dollars, your investment will yield a plentiful harvest.

Please be sure that I have your best Email address on file as many of these kids want to be able to thank and tell their sponsor exactly what their OWLS experience means to them.

As always, contributions should be made payable to: Outdoor Wisdom Leadership School (or just OWLS) and mailed to my attention (Ben Simms) at 6688 Brandon Mill Rd., Atlanta, GA 30328.

Thanks and God bless!
