Bethel Historical Society Seeks Community Support

From Bethel Historical Society:

Starting at midnight on March 10, the Fairfield County region will come together for one day of INCREDIBLE giving - a 24 hour giving challenge that lifts up lives and strengthens the place we all call home. Join our community on March 10 for a celebration of philanthropy and put your money where your heart is!

Visit our website here or check us out on Facebook here.

Funds will also be used toward our 21st annual (and beyond) historical tours attended each year by all of the second grade students in Bethel, to build the archival collection so that the museum is a constantly growing representation of the history of Bethel, and to complete the renovation of the Great Hall in the historic 1842 Second Meeting House, which we call home - a building that was the town hall for seventy years, the gathering-place of all community groups of the era, and truly the heart of Bethel’s history.

HELP US WIN BONUS PRIZES: An award to the organization:

1) Most unique donors from 6-7am and 3-4pm - $2,000 to a “Newbie,” participating for the fi rst time

2) The first 20 (twenty) nonprofi ts to receive 25 unique donors of $25 or more will receive $1,000.
