Fundraiser for Simon Kenton Council boosted by Columbus Foundation


In case you are not aware, there is a fundraiser for Simon Kenton Council that will be boosted by the Columbus Foundation any donations that you make today until 6 pm.

Here is a letter from the council regarding the activity.  I donated this morning and wanted to send this to you in case you wanted to donate as well.

"I hope this letter finds you and your family healthy and well. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, Cub Scout packs and Scouts BSA troops have not had a meeting in the last two and a half months. Because of this, Simon Kenton Council’s fundraising activities have not taken place. The need has never been greater. Your donation through the Friends of Scouting campaign supports local Scouting in the greater Columbus area to help maintain camps, service centers, training opportunities, and much more. As we build up our nation’s future leaders, your donation will contribute to Scout’s successes in life. Now is the time to provide critical financial support during an unprecedented time of uncertainty and change. Every few years, The Columbus Foundation offers a program called The BIG Give to help non- profit organizations such as the Simon Kenton Council. It is easy to participate! You may donate until 6 pm on June 11th, by visiting skcscouts.org/BIGGive to make a gift to Simon Kenton Council. If you choose to donate, The Columbus Foundation will match a percentage of your gift.

Thank you in advance for your consideration and support. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Rich Braessler
District Director
Simon Kenton Council
