Something exciting is happening at Tintern. On Thursday 8 June we have the opportunity and the power to come together as a community to reinforce and celebrate our commitment to the care, growth, and global development of our students now and into the future.
Our focus is to raise significant funds to further increase our Scholarship funds to provide fully funded, self-sustaining scholarships to students who have the ability, but not necessarily the accessibility of a Tintern Education.
On Thursday 8 June, Tintern will hold its first ever Giving Day, a fast paced, exciting and celebratory fundraising campaign where a matching pool is secured before the event so we can offer a multiplying effect on the day. In our case, every donation made on Thursday 8 June, for 1 day only will be doubled. Thanks to some very generous donors, every dollar donated in this 24 hour period will be doubled. This means that your $20 donation will become $40, your $100 donation becomes $200 and your $500 donations becomes $1000!
Together with the support or our community, we can extend our care and confidence to others, through a Scholarship fund to attend Tintern Grammar.
Keep an eye out for the news in your in boxes and on our social media. Only donations made on Thursday 8 June will be doubled so be patient until then so we can make the biggest difference.
Please contact Di Lacey on dlacey@tintern.vic.edu.au or 03 9845 7893 if you can’t wait to show your support.
Seeking Volunteers for Giving Day
The success of this campaign depends on passionate volunteers. We need ambassadors of Tintern to join a team in our ‘Operations Room’ to reach out to the community with phone calls explaining the importance of our Scholarship Fund and encourage them to contribute to the campaign.
Current and past parents, alumni, staff, Board and Executive are all giving their time to help on this exciting day.
On the day, we will provide meaningful call scripts and lists; we will also provide plenty of food, snacks and drinks! We also have a recorded training video with accompanying slides to share with you.
Our volunteers are the heart of our community and we would appreciate your support. Call hours are between 10am – 8pm on Thursday 9th and 8am -10am on the Friday and we invite you to consider signing up for a two-hour shift.
Here is a booking link for you to register your time and please remember you will need a current WWCC to participate: https://signup.com/go/wNxqBiE
