CHRIST-HONORING IMPACT
Honoring HCS Outdoor Education teacher, Mike Hoekstra
Mr. Mike Hoekstra, our beloved Nature-Based Education teacher, passed away after a courageous battle with cancer. Mr. Hoekstra was a shining example of servant-hearted kindness, patience, and a deep awe for God’s creation—a legacy cherished by our students and staff alike. We are forever grateful for his life and the lasting impact he made.
To honor Mike’s memory, his family has asked that you consider giving to support the mission of HCS. Your generosity helps us nurture the same awe and love for God’s creation that Mike so beautifully demonstrated.

Creative & Smart Ways to Give
Gifts of Stock
Reduce your taxes by giving stock. Giving appreciated assets held longer than a year is often a more tax-wise way of giving rather than cash as it often will allow you to avoid paying capital gains taxes.
Gifts From Your IRA
70 1/2 or older? Reduce your taxable income by giving up to $100,000 per year from your individual retirement account. These qualified charitable contributions are tax-free and count toward satisfying your required minimum distribution.
Gifts in a Will
Perhaps the most significant gift you will ever give, a gift left in your will, extends the impact of your generosity well beyond your lifetime.
Stewards Fund
Simplify and streamline your giving through a Christian donor-advised fund. Tax deductions are given immediately and giving can be streamlined and convenient.
For more information on these giving options, please contact Mission Advancement at 616-669-6689 or by email.
