on the lives of others in our community. The leadership giving levels are:

The growth of the First Capital Club in recent years has been significant. There are now close
to 1,100 Members who contribute more than $1.4 million annually.
Each year contributors to this giving program are recognized in the leadership
brochure, unless they elect to remain anonymous. Couples contributing through the
workplace may be recognized at the leadership level, by completing the "household gift"
section of the employee pledge form to combine their gifts.
