Most everybody else put in money. \u201cThat\u2019s a check,\u201d he explained to me. \u201cIt\u2019s just like money.\u201d \u201cBut what\u2019s the money for?\u201d I asked. \u201cTo help people do God\u2019s work,\u201d he replied.<\/p>\n<p>That was as good a lesson in giving as anyone has ever given me. I grew up in a family of givers. If someone on our block was sick or otherwise struggling, Mom got busy baking. As soon as I was old enough, I followed her lead, making brownies or muffins or spaghetti dinners.<\/p>\n<p>At age 16, I organized my first fundraiser, a swim-a-thon for our local chapter of the Red Cross that entailed finding enough pools for us to use, then recruiting kids to swim 25 or 30 laps at, say, a quarter a lap from any donors they solicited. Recruiting the participants was the toughest part. I remember watching kids\u2019 eyes glaze over at my first lackluster presentation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shopguideposts.org\/microsite\/index\/load\/id\/90\/?___store=guideposts&amp;sourcekey=22UN3508GK\"><strong><em>Click here to donate to Guideposts&#8217; outreach programs.<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>What I learned to do, and hope I still do, was find out what they were interested in (swimming!) and connect it to what all those quarters could do (blood drives, CPR classes, lives saved). God\u2019s work covers a lot of ground. Not to brag, but under my leadership the swim-a-thon\u2019s take went up by 400 percent. That\u2019s a lot of quarters.<\/p>\n<p>Today I am the senior vice president for philanthropy at Guideposts. My husband, Kevin, would tell you I\u2019m a do-gooder, but any good I do comes through the good a lot of people do.
