Here are the ways by which Cherry Run Camp Meeting is supported financially:

• contributions made by churches and/or individuals via the Western Pennsylvania Annual Conference – Advance Special #CP000500-C
  • Send W. PA Conference Advance Special contributions to:
    The United Methodist Center
    c/o W PA Conference Treasurer
    1204 Freedom Road
    Cranberry Twp. PA 16066
    (Please be sure to include Advance #CP000500-C)
• through charitable giving through life insurance policies (information below)
• through the Living Endowment Fund of Cherry Run Camp Meeting Association (information below)

It is with deep and sincere heartfelt gratitude that the generous giving of many individuals, families, church groups, and churches over the years since the beginning of Cherry Run Camp Meeting is hereby acknowledged and that the ministry and outreach of the Camp continues at the present time because of the faithful ongoing support of the many who share the vision of what the Camp represents. So long as that support continues so will the ministry of Cherry Run Camp Meeting in proclaiming the claims and call of Jesus Christ as Lord, Savior, and our soon returning King continue as well!

This is a way of recognizing that, at this point in time, small giving alone is not enough to to satisfy the needs of charitable organizations. Small gifts do not meet all of today’s human needs. Charitable giving through life insurance is therefore a viable option by which ordinary people of ordinary means can give large gifts.

By means of an annual, tax-deductable premium the donor can make a meaningful gift without depriving one’s own family or depleting one’s estate. Life insurance can accomplish a person’s charitable aims, and yet at the same time leave one’s overall savings and net estate completely intact.

The procedure itself is quite simple:

• You purchase a life-insurance policy in the amount of your choice, and designate Cherry Run Camp Meeting as the owner and beneficiary.
• Premiums are paid to Cherry Run Camp Meeting as a charitable contribution. Cherry Run Camp then submits the premiums to the insurance company.
• The policy is held by Cherry Run Camp Meeting Association.
• You will receive reminders for all premium payments.
• Premium payments will be due for the number of years stipulated in your policy.
