Your support of the Wesley Foundation is greatly appreciated! While some funding is provided by the United Methodist State Commission on Campus Ministry, we also rely on support from our alumni and friends. How can you help? Let's count the ways!

Talk about the ministry of the Wesley Foundation. Let your friends, neighbors, church members and potential college students know about the Wesley Foundation. We provide a vital ministry at an important time in a young adult's life. Share your experiences of life at Wesley. Our best advertising is you!

Talk to your local church to see if they will include the Wesley Foundation in their mission budget.

Get involved! If you live and/or attend church within easy driving distance of the Raleigh Wesley Foundation, consider helping out by preparing one of our Wednesday night meals. You may also have a talent you would like to share with our students or a program you would like to lead.

Consider making a financial contribution. Below are several ways you can help support the Wesley Foundation financially. Thank you!

NEW GIFT PROGRAM TO COMMEMORATE THE RALEIGH WESLEY FOUNDATION

60^TH ANNIVERSARY

On December 9, 1942, at a meeting of the Wesley Foundation Commission for North Carolina, held at Duke University, the Raleigh Wesley Foundation (RWF) was officially chartered. December 2002 marked the sixtieth year of ministry by the RWF. A lot has happened over the 60 years preceding this anniversary date and many lives have been touched. A lot, however, has stayed the same. The RWF still enjoys a partnership with Fairmont United Methodist Church, students still consider the RWF as a Ahome away from home,@ and the lives and faith of college students still are being nurtured.

To commemorate the 60^th year of ministry, in Year 2002, the Board of Directors for the RWF and the Raleigh Wesley Foundation Alumni Association (RWFAA) initiated the Sixty for Sixty Club as a way of showing appreciation for the past and to prepare for the future.

Funds collected through the Sixty for Sixty Club will be placed in an endowment fund to be used for the continued support of the RWF=s ministry.

Please consider becoming a member of the Sixty for Sixty Club with your donation of $60, or multiples of $60, and help prepare for another sixty years of RWF ministry to, for, and with college students in the Raleigh area.

For more information contact the RWF or the President or Treasurer of the RWFAA.
