Saturday evening was a beautiful example of our community coming together to support Christian education and to move His message into our greater community by raising up students who will serve Him and impact the world through biblical thought and action. 
 
We want to thank the countless volunteers, generous sponsors, our guests in attendance, and those bidding from afar. Every task, big or small, every donation, regardless of the amount, and every word of encouragement brought about an amazing and powerful night of fellowship and fundraising. 
 
This year's goal was to raise a net total of $500,000 to support strategic initiatives and staff wish lists. Many faculty will have their wish list items directly funded. All faculty will reap the benefits of the strategic dollars raised to support the comprehensive capital campaign - Next Generation Campaign. Thank you to the many who participated. We could not have met and surpassed our goal without the combined generosity of many. The beauty in all of this is that gifts both big and small brought forth the success of the evening. Everyone who participated should be proud of their part in making a difference in the lives of our students, faculty, and staff. 

We are pleased to report that the evening raised nearly $503,000. We are excited to see how God uses these funds to further DC's mission and His Kingdom for this generation and those to come! Again, on behalf of the faculty, staff, and students, thank you for making a difference. 

Mark your calendars for next year's Benefit - Saturday, April 27, 2027.
