The Perfect Christmas Gift
 Healing, Hope, and Fulfillment of Dreams
How about giving friends and family something special?
Here’s a suggestion for a unique and wonderful gift: a contribution to a better life for people in need.
That’s what you give when you join the Scudder Association Foundation, give a gift membership to someone you love, or make a donation to the organization’s charitable missions in India. Your money goes to support the two excellent hospitals the Scudder family founded over a century ago and the two Scudder-founded schools which offer hope for a successful future for low-income boys and girls who otherwise might not have the opportunity for a satisfying career or good jobs.
Here’s just one example. This little boy had a cleft lip and palate, a birth defect that, unless corrected by surgery, would not only cause him to be ridiculed and ostracized all his life but could also cause eating problems, difficulty in speaking, hearing problems, and frequent ear infections. An operation at Scudder Memorial Hospital gave him a new lease on life.
Our work in India has saved thousands of lives and enabled a healthy, better life for thousands more.Â
Money goes ten times farther in southeast India. A $50 donation has the impact of $500 in the United States. A $100 donation is equivalent to a $1,000 gift here. The money is much needed and will be quickly put to good use.Â
You can make the gift in honor of a special person and/or indicate which institution you would like to receive the money—Christian Medical College and Hospital, Scudder Memorial Hospital, The Walter Scudder School, or the Arni School.
Membership is only $35 a year and anyone who donates $1,000 or more in a calendar year is honored with a lifetime membership.

It’s hard to find a more loving or appropriate Christmas gift than one of these.
Merry Christmas to all. And thank you.
