We Have A Match
We have a Match – A $35,000 Match
Our dear friend and loyal donor, John Picciano, loves the idea of helping the Benedictine Sisters of Florida through the formation of Giving Circles. He has pledged to match dollar-for-dollar every donation on Giving Tuesday up to $35,000. That means for example that your $50 donation becomes a $100 donation.
Mr. Picciano makes this substantial pledge as encouragement for our donors to put together a Giving Circle of their friends and family. Just imagine (“the pebble in the pond”) what that could do to your Giving Circle group!
Form your Giving Circle now in readiness of Giving Tuesday and begin a worthy tradition of giving that can be part of your legacy!
For questions or help forming a Giving Circle, call or email Cheryl Chadick at: cheryl.chadick@saintleo.edu or (352) 588-8320. She can give you whatever you might need.
God’s blessings to Mr. Picciano and
all the Givers in the world!
