Life Center Update

Although dubbed the “quiet phase” of our campaign for the Center at St. Thomas while we engage with donors from the community, our Center efforts during this phase have been very productive. We will provide you with updates as we make progress toward our vision. Over the summer the Center project:

• Completed hazardous materials and property surveys necessary for any building;
• Decided that the cost of holding the “portables” was outweighed by returning them now, and bringing them back for future construction;
• Continued in dialogue with non-profits including the Bellevue Boys and Girls Club to identify partnerships to expand our community impact and service;
• Submitted our grant application to a foundation and executed on our Friends of St. Thomas strategy for community support of the Life Center; 
• Successfully obtained eligibility for matching gifts with Microsoft and Bank of America.

We continue to identify other matching gift opportunities.
Thank you for your support of the Center at Saint Thomas!
