Monthly
gifts are the backbone of the annual giving campaign. Many
of these donors choose the convenient option of monthly withdrawals
from their bank accounts. Helping Hand members receive a

date news and information on student progress, events and
plans for the future;

over 100 volunteers solicit pledges of monthly or one time
gifts from donors and prospects. These volunteers achieved
new heights in 1999, with pledges exceeding $160,000;
 Change For Children:
Every summer, participants
fill their coin bank with spare change, bills and checks
over a three month period. This is a great campaign for promoting
involvement of children in the role of helping others;
