It's not too late to make a difference
The incremental increase between this year's High Holiday Appeal contribution and last year's donation will be doubled by a generous matching gift.  It's not too late to make a difference in strengthening our financial foundation.  No gift is too small to be important.  If you believe in the great future of BHBE, now is the time to step up.  We are counting on you.
