THE 2020 KABARA CHALLENGE. DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT.

Dear Friends,

We hope this letter finds you, your family and friends safe and healthy. We are blessed again as we launch a new year of the KabarA Challenge.

We have witnessed all that this campaign has done for our Senior Brothers, like covering costs related to in-home healthcare, living expenses in assisted care facilities, transportation, surgeries and more. Last year alone, your generosity funded new Life Alert monitors for our Brothers and a Vision Enhancer machine for those who are visually impaired.  Life-changing gifts!

Over half of our 117 Brothers in the Midwest District are retired. With an average age of 74, we expect this percentage to grow at a precipitous rate and the number of members able to provide care to dwindle. Outside resources are of critical importance.

These are difficult times as the spread of COVID-19 continues to have an effect on our lives, our economy, and our community at large. Your compassionate giving through this remarkable fundraising effort enriches our Brother’s ability to continue to volunteer with our ministries while also preserving and improving their quality of life.

We can certainly calculate donations, but we cannot measure generosity, faith, and love. Please accept our deepest gratitude for your support of this initiative. Know that your willingness to journey with us provides a retirement of dignity to those De La Salle Christian Brothers who have given their lives in service.

This year’s KabarA Challenge begins June 1 and runs through August 31. Help us reach our goal of $150,000. Every gift matters. Every gift will be matched, dollar for dollar, enabling your donation to have double its impact.

As always, you are remembered daily in our prayers. Please remember us in yours!
