Physicians Mutual Matching Gi ft helps Trust raise more than $20,000! Thanks to a generous offer from long-time supporter, Physicians Mu- tual, the Selected Educational Trust raised nearly $10,300 – a record high in donor revenues for the month of December from generous donors ea- ger to help the Trust grow and ex- pand! With the $10,000 pledge from Physicians Mutual, the Trust raised an all-time high of more than $20,000 last month! Bea Pedersen, recently appointed as the first-ever executive director of the Selected Educational Trust, had this to say about this astounding oppor- tunity: “People support an organiza- tion because they want to make a dif- ference. This past year they have seen the Trust grow exponentially – devel- oping and launching new programs in funeral service workforce develop- ment and education. When a donor can literally double their financial im- pact with a giving opportunity such as this from Physicians Mutual, well that just makes giving even sweeter!” As a result of this generosity, the Trust will continue to provide the best educational opportunities for the advancement and support of all who work within and for the inde- pendent funeral service profession. “I can only say ‘thank you’” continued Pedersen, “to all who supported this unique effort. The Trust is headed in one direction – up – and the individ- uals, firms, organizations and compa- nies who support our efforts are join- ing us on that pathway to success!” For more information about the Trust, contact, Bea Pedersen at bea@ selectedtrust.org.
