John and Kathy are deeply appreciative of the expressions of love and support they have received from friends and family. Given that each has maintained his or her own home for many years and are now combining households (and frankly are facing an over-abundance of “stuff”), they would like to make an alternative suggestion to the kind offer of traditional wedding gifts.
Inspired by the “Light the World” Giving Machines operated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints over the Christmas holidays, they have identified 4 charities that do important work in serving the needy or which provide important services in the community. They would request that friends consider contributing to one of these charities in lieu of a traditional household gift. To facilitate that process, at the wedding celebration there will be a table set up with information about each of the vetted organizations and which will accept cash or check donations to your designated charity. Or, if you prefer, you can go to the respective organizational websites listed below to contribute directly.
John and Kathy would like to be able to acknowledge your gift, so if it isn’t inconvenient, inform them of your charitable choice via email to kaboswell@gmail.com
You have already given us the greatest gift we could ever ask for – your love and support as we embark on this new adventure together. Thank you!
