UCC Campus Ministry hasn't added a story.
Today starts the kickoff to our annual Brett Martin scholarship
for our BreakAway 2018 Service trip to help low income families get
their homes back after storm devastation. We have 9 of our 15
BreakAway 2018 students who dearly want to go spend their spring
breaks in service and yet are, themselves, from low income
situations... like Brett himself was.
Brett was a dearly loved Campus Ministry student who passed away
in 2004 due to complications with his epilepsy leaving a legacy of
volunteerism and kindness. Starting in 2004 a scholarship fund was
established in Brett’s name from donations from Brett’s family and
friends.
The Brett Martin Scholarsh
ip is focused to enable those students who want to spend their
spring break serving others on a BreakAway trip but who are
financially unable to pay the full contribution trip participants
are asked to chip in. This fund is replenished every year between
Christmas and New Years through a Facebook Fundrazr by Campus
Ministry alumni, members of Community UCC and family and friends.
This year we have a record number of students (9) who will
only be able to participant in our 2018 service trip due to the
Brett Martin Scholarship. Each one of these students, like our
Brett, has shown their heart for helping others and also would be
unable to afford the trip’s full participant contribution of $550.
Anyone visiting my office at CUCC will find an angel still
hanging over the door entering my office, where Brett spent so many
rich hours in his young life, given to the Campus ministry by his
mother in memory of her beloved son.
Please help us reach our goal of $4,000 so not only can today's campus ministry students reach out and put their "compassion into action" through working on homes of families who lost so much due to the violence of storms, but also so that tomorrow's BreakAway trips can keep going strong!
