It’s the time of year when alumni and friends begin to see materials in their e-mail and snail mail boxes about Phonathon.
Phonathon 2021 begins Feb. 8, with student callers working through Feb. 28.
Phonathon has been taking place since 1980, when then-alumni director Edwin R. Stucky initiated the event.
Gifts made to Bethel College in response to Phonathon go directly to support Bethel students – through scholarships, academic program, campus ministries, recruitment, health and wellness initiatives, athletic equipment and fine arts programming, to name just a few.
Phonathon callers will be contacting potential donors between Feb. 8-28. Contact the Office of Institutional Advancement or send a gift (for other than e-mail or online, the address is: Phonathon 2021, Bethel College, 300 East 27th St., North Newton, KS 67117; checks should be made payable to "Bethel College Phonathon 2021").
Any questions can be directed to Brad Schmidt at the above address, by calling 316-284-5252 or by e-mailing bschmidt@bethelks.edu
