Glenkirk's Giving Tuesday Triumph: A Record-Breaking Commitment to Community

In the spirit of generosity and community engagement, Glenkirk launched its Giving Tuesday campaign with the ambitious goal of raising $40,000. The organization, dedicated to creating inclusive communities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, received tremendous support from both individuals and corporate partners, resulting in a remarkable success that exceeded all expectations.

One of the key factors contributing to the campaign's success was the generous support from Busey Bank and Tom Mason. Their commitment to Glenkirk's cause was evident in their $5,000 each, amplifying the impact of individual donations. This $10,000 in gift matches provided a powerful incentive for donors to contribute.

The campaign concluded with an astonishing $53,365 raised, shattering the original $40,000 goal. This impressive achievement is a testament to the community's dedication to Glenkirk's mission and its commitment to fostering inclusive environments for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
