THE CHARLES AND CAROLYN BURCH RUSSELL ENDOWMENT

Bethany College established the Friends of the Messiah to create a permanent endowment capable of sustaining the Festival for future generations. Because of the leadership of Charles and Carolyn Burch Russell, their lead gift and the many donors who joined them, the Messiah Festival has a strong foundation. We invite you to become a Friend of the Messiah and make a gift to enhance this significant cultural and religious experience.
