You can find many ways to support charitable organizations. One method that’s gained popularity over the past few years is called a donor-advised fund. Should you consider it?

The answer depends on your individual situation, because donor-advised funds are not appropriate for everyone. However, if you’re in a position to make larger charitable gifts, you might at least want to see what this strategy has to offer.

Here’s how it works:

The 2022 music season at Bluffton University will culminate with the 128th performance of Handel's "Messiah" at 4:00 p.m. on December 11.

Under the direction of Dr. Bo Young Kang, director of choral activities, this performance will feature orchestra and soloists. Tickets are required but free of charge. A free-will offering will be accepted.

Bluffton University Theatre will present the play “The Diary of Anne Frank” based upon “Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl” from November 10-13. Performances begin at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 10-12, and at 2:30 p.m. on Nov. 13, in Ramseyer Auditorium in College Hall.

The play is by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett and newly adapted by Wendy Kesselman. Dr. Melissa Friesen, professor of theatre and communication, will direct the show.

Every October--Fire Safety Month--brings the Bluffton Fire Department to the  elementary school. But this year, Chief Jon Kinn and volunteer firefighters Tyler Delong-Clem and John Bowers provided something a little different: two assemblies for all students in grades K-5.

Principal Ben Thiel appreciated having a program that emphasized responsibility and preparation for all grades, noting that the program was "not just fun," it was about having a plan in the event of a fire.
