For Giving Tuesday 2024, The RCI-IIBEC Foundation can win a $10,000 donation from Zeffy, the 100% free fundraising software, and for that, we need your help! ???? (Zeffy is our donation processing platform). We need you to join Zeffy’s challenge to help us win! It will only take 3 minutes of your time, it's completely free, and the impact can be huge for the RCI-IIBEC Foundation. ?? Help us win the $10,000: https://lnkd.in/eEu848dt ?? The Challenge closes on December 3rd, at 11:59 pm EST! Winning $10,000 will allow us to send students to the IIBEC Convention and Trade Show, BES and award eight academic scholarships.

The foundations are thrilled to announce that we have an incredible 39 students all set to dive into the world of the building enclosure at the 2024 IIBEC/OBEC BES in Toronto at the end of September. Of the 39 students, 17 are from the United States and 22 are from Canada. These sponsorships were made possible by your support of the Joe Hale Student Sponsorship Fund, last year's Giving Tuesday, our Foundations' golf outing and live auction in Phoenix. ?
