National Philanthropy Day


Good morning -


On Thursday, November 12 philanthropists across the nation will be celebrated. The 12th is National Philanthropy Day. For the past three years, Turnstone has celebrated this important day by thanking its donors for all they do. Of the agency's annual $3.2 million operating budget, more than 60% is supported through philanthropic support. Our donors make our mission work possible.


Approximately 90 of our favorite donors will be celebrated on the 12th and the National Philanthropy Day luncheon. Turnstone nominated St. Charles School 4th Grade Class as the area's Outstanding Youth in Philanthropy--and they won! For more than a decade, St. Charles students have organized a Read-a-Thon. All the proceeds of the Read-a-Thon support Turnstone's adaptive sports and recreation program. Over the years, the students have more than a total of $20,000!

Thank you St. Charles and thank you to all of our supporters. Your generosity helps turn disabilities into possibilities.


Sincerely,
Jen
