BETHESDA'S DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT |
Our Development Department works for our Foundation for Children raising funds and gathering donations that directly support the over 8000 children, youth, and families Bethesda serves every day.
With the help of donors like you, our Development team stewards the donations of blankets, undergarments, hats and coats, hygiene items, and much more including funds for activities for those who live with us here on campus. One of the department's biggest projects is our Christmas drive, where each year we provide the children of Bethesda with a magical Christmas, most have never experienced.
The development department also hosts four major fundraisers each year. Our Annual Gala, Charity Golf Outing, Luau on the Lake, and our Clays for Kids Sporting Clays event. Proceeds from these events, fund various programs and projects at Bethesda through our Promising Futures Fund!
If you are interested in becoming a Friend of Bethesda, and helping us provide Promising Futures to the children and youth we serve daily, please contact us and we will happily welcome you to our family!
CASE FOR SUPPORT |
Children are the hope of our society, they are the next generation, and they represent the legacy we pass on in this world. Nearly 50% of children today are exposed to Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) like abuse, neglect, and household challenges before the age of 18, and in many cases, they are not equipped to process these experiences in healthy ways.
Bethesda provides the essential services needed to process these experiences so children can have healthy relationships and productive lives. The more kids we help, the stronger and healthier our communities become.
You can help ensure a promising future for our youth and families by partnering with Bethesda strengthening our services and program spaces to meet the growing needs of our community. Your contribution directly connects more kids to life-changing services that will support them throughout the rest of their lives.
