Every Gift Matters<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Cedarville University publicly launched its $125 million, One Thousand Days Transformed <\/em>campaign in 2019, the University believes that every gift would be important \u2014 whether large or small. Throughout the ongoing campaign, Cedarville received gifts ranging from $10 to $10 million, and all were happily accepted because they reflected the stewardship of the donor.<\/p>\n

But one 8-year-old Beavercreek girl took the \u201cEvery Gift Matters\u201d philosophy to a whole new level when she approached University president Dr. Thomas White after a program during homecoming 2022.<\/p>\n

Renee Buskohl, whose parents are both Cedarville alumni, was attending the homecoming chapel when she heard Dr. White share about the One Thousand Days Transformed<\/em> campaign and the need to continue raising money for the $40 million Scharnberg Business Center. Renee begged her parents and aunt to allow her to contribute to this lofty project.<\/p>\n

She pulled out four quarters, walked toward Dr. White, and told him she wanted to contribute to the campaign.<\/p>\n

The size of the gift only matters because of the size the heart that was compelled to give reflected a Christ-like heart to give.\u00a0 And, just like every other donor to Cedarville\u2019s One Thousand Days Transformed<\/em> campaign, Renee was sent a receipt for her gift.<\/p>\n

Because every gift matters.<\/p>\n

Listen to the Cedarville Stories Podcast as Renee is joined by her parents, Phil and Bekah, and shares why it was important for her to make the four-quarter gift.<\/p>\n
