To every member of the Valley Christian community,
For those who haven’t already joined us, we’d like to invite you to be a part of the 1.53 (“one fifty-three”) Campaign at VCHS this year. The idea behind the 1.53 campaign is to raise two things:
1) 1.53 million committed prayers for VCHS
2) 1.53 million dollars for VCHS
Why 1.53?
God has already done exciting things at Valley this year. Enrollment is up to 354 students, an increase of 16%. “The Best Schools” named us as one of the Top 50 Christian High Schools in the United States and #1 in the state. We hosted the biggest Homecoming in our history by welcoming more than 1,700 people onto our campus. And our first Open House had a record 56 families in attendance.
We believe God has more exciting things planned, and we feel called to raise 1.53 million prayers and 1.53 million dollars. Your financial gift will be used toward projects such as our technology initiative, a program that will engage and enhance each student’s learning experience, as well as our first Endowment Fund, a foundational step toward a solid financial future at Valley Christian. Check out this brochure for more details.
We wanted to be intentional about the information you’re receiving as we invite you to join us, so know that everything in this envelope was meant for you. We’re including:
- This letter.
- A 1.53 Campaign brochure, to tell you more about the campaign
- A link to the 1.53 Campaign video: please visit VCHSAZ.org/153home to see the video!
- A response card, making it easy for you to commit to pray, to give, or both
- A return envelope, a simple way of getting the card back to us
Will you please take a few minutes – today – to complete this card and put it in the mail?
If you’d prefer to commit to pray or to give online, you can do so today at VCHSAZ.org/153home. View the campaign video while you’re there, produced by VC alum, Sam Pagel ‘07.
Thank you for your passion for VCHS, thank you for taking the time to read about what God is doing through the 1.53 Campaign, and thank you for contributing to the mission of VCHS.
For His glory,
Troy A. Thelen
Legacy Director
