Capital Campaign Update

Double your money & finish the campaign

July-August 2008

In June, at the annual Religious Liberty Council luncheon in Memphis, BJC supporter Patsy Ayres, issued a capital campaign matching challenge.

She will match, dollar-for-dollar, gifts and pledges made to the campaign through October 31, 2008. With your help we could raise the campaign goal of $5 million by the end of this year!

Fundraising for the Center has been steady over the life of the campaign, with more than half of the needed $5 million pledged or given by the start of the summer.

The BJC has been fighting for religious liberty and church-state separation since 1936. It is poised for its greatest challenges and greatest successes. The new Center will allow the BJC to be more effective as it secures religious liberty for our children and grandchildren.

It will provide a state-of-the-art training facility, serve as a nerve center for religious liberty advocates, provide a visible presence near the Capitol and Supreme Court and facilitate expanded partnerships with like-minded organizations, churches, colleges and seminaries.

The time is now to double your money and help us finish the campaign!
