LCM has successful Roanoke Valley Gives event on March 13, 2019 |
Thank You for supporting Lake Christian Ministries through the RVG Day yesterday. This event was a HUGE SUCCESS for LCM. This effort exemplified the adage, when we give together, we can do so much more!
Our generous supporters donated $43,295 online, resulting in LCM being the most successful nonprofit among the mid-sized charities! An additional $4,110 in support was provided in cash and checks, and $5,000 was added in an incentive prize fund (most overall online donations as a mid-sized charity)—bringing the amount generated by LCM through RVG Day participation to a grand total of $52,405! We are also hopeful that LCM will receive at least one additional incentive prize of $1,000 for the most funds generated during the Lunchtime Power Hour (to be announced on 3/21/19). These results are very impressive. Equally impressive is our base of community support. Among the 150 participating charities, LCM placed third in funds generated and second in the number of donors (147) who gave online.
We are deeply grateful to our generous donors and dedicated team of volunteers who work so hard to raise our required revenue, which will deliver services to our Neighbors in need. On behalf of the 2,000 Neighbors who need our services annually, we thank you for your continued support of LCM. You have our assurance that your donations will be faithfully and judiciously spent to help our Neighbors and work to reduce poverty in our SML community of Bedford, Franklin and Pittsylvania counties.
Thank you and God bless!!

Support LCM Through RVG’s 24 Hour Online Giving Program – MARCH 13!
Last year donors contributed over $51,500 to LCM during the 2018 Roanoke Valley Gives Program (RVG), which enabled LCM to win an additional $5,000 incentive prize for generating the most funds for a mid-sized participating charity! This year we hope you will once again support LCM and make the 2019 RVG Day a success for our Neighbors in need! Our 2019 goal is ambitious: to generate $50,000 through LCM's participation in the 2019 RVG Day to impact poverty in the SML community.
