Big Payback Postponed!
It was a tough day at The Community Foundation. Their online fundraiser, the Big Payback, went into a tailspin sometime late this morning when their web site started processing donations erratically. Maybe you noticed. If you tried to make a donation to Touchstone through the Big Payback, you might not have been able to find the donate button. It wasn't your fault or even their fault. That problem went on all day until at about 6 pm when they called off the event.
There will be a rescheduled Big Payback soon, but we don't know that date yet. What we do know is this. Many of you wonderful friends of Touchstone were ready to spring into action on behalf of struggling students. We are so grateful to you! If you were planning to give $10, please hang on to your Hamilton until the event is rescheduled. We will try to win the same prize for the most unique donors.
Some of you planned to give larger sums, and again, we are grateful. If you would like to make those donations now, please use the "Donate Now" link at https://www.facebook.com/TYRS.inc/. That link will bypass the broken web site.
Blessings on all of you, and thank you for helping us love students!
