  7. A Special Advent Message

    12/11/2024

    A Special Advent Message

    This is Dom Bettinelli, CEO of StarQuest, with a special message as we approach the Christmas season. Over the years, the StarQuest Network has continued to grow as a unique Catholic apostolate, bringing faith and culture together in ways that educate, inspire, and entertain. Shows like Jimmy Akin’s Mysterious World, Secrets of Doctor Who, and Secrets of Star Wars have reached hundreds of thousands of listeners and viewers around the world. This year, we’ve seen exciting developments, including new series, improved video production, and an ever-expanding audience. And we have big plans for next year, including yet more new shows and an exciting opportunity to travel with me and Jimmy Akin to Italy for the Jubilee Year. But with growth comes challenges. We are thrilled to have so many loyal supporters whose generosity makes all our shows possible. It’s also a reality that over time some of our supporters will step away from their giving for whatever reason.However, it is also true that the financial support that sustains this mission currently comes from fewer than 1% of those who enjoy our podcasts and videos. If we’re to continue producing this life-changing content and expanding to reach new people, we urgently need new supporters to join us and current supporters to increase their assistance.This Advent and Christmas—the time when nonprofits like ours receive most of their support for the year—we’re asking you to prayerfully consider becoming part of the StarQuest mission or increasing your support:* If you’re already a supporter, thank you! Your generosity makes everything we do possible. Please consider increasing your support to help us continue growing. * If you haven’t joined as a supporter yet, now is the perfect time. Could you give $15, or even just $10 per month? With your help, we can continue to produce over 50 hours of quality programming every month. * For businesses or individuals interested in leadership-level giving, sponsorship opportunities start at $500 per month. Sponsors receive recognition on our shows and website, helping to support our mission while reaching new audiences.Every gift, of every size, has a lasting impact. Your support allows us to bring the Gospel to people in innovative ways—through podcasts, videos, and more.To make your tax-deductible gift, visit sqpn.com/give. Thank you for being part of the StarQuest family. May God bless you abundantly this Advent and Christmas season!
