Your Gift Does More – Brian’s Story

I used to hit the delete key…

Do you automatically delete emails requesting money for the Campus Campaign? I’m not crazy about getting solicited, either. But nearly 25 years ago, I began remembering all the help I’d received in college (work-study jobs, scholarships, Pell grants, cash from my older sister! etc.) and I realized how fortunate I had been to get that help and stay in college. I also remembered something I was taught growing up: we should all contribute even the smallest amount to help others. It could be to a charity, a school, a faith organization or to a neighbor whose child has cancer. So I started doing that.

I really hesitate sharing this as it might sound boastful, but if I don’t share, how can I encourage others? With that said, I personally know many of you support several causes, some at significant levels. And you do it quietly, without any acknowledgement. Blessings to you!  Today, I hope you’ll consider adding an OSU Campus Campaign donation to support the good work being done here at OSU, too.

Thank you,
Brian Raison
