Four years ago, Darren Burch ’05 had the idea to launch a philanthropic campaign of small gifts that would create big change for Bethany College. Today, each $50 gift will impact Bethany College in two ways: Half of the donations go to the annual fund and the other half to the Bethany Backers project. This campaign, led by the Bethany College Alumni Council, has grown into Bethany Backers, the gifting launch of Bethany alums, friends, and the community who give gifts to complete a project of their choice. This year’s campaign began on Jan. 1, concludes on Feb. 17, 2023, and targets the Burnet Center in three parts. The first part focuses on creating a multi-purpose space, including a classroom, green room gathering, and presentation space for speakers, performances, rehearsals, and recitals. Second, lighting and technology upgrades will enhance visual and audio capabilities to accommodate groups and organizations better. The third is enhancing the outdoor area surrounded by Nelson Science Center/Burnett Center/Presser Hall with communal and educational space, including additional seating for educational and performance use. One of these projects will become the focal point of the Backers for this year when they vote on the project of their choice after the campaign concludes on Feb. 17, 2023.
