GIVING
Mega gift alert!
HUGE NEWS: last week one of you stopped by the office and threw down a $100,000 matching challenge for the remainder of our fiscal year (through June, 2025). Everyone in the Phipps office immediately died and then came to life to process what just happened. What amazing generosity!
Weāre utilizing this matching challenge to focus on two things: recurring gifts and increased giving. This means that you can DOUBLE your PCA gift this year if youā¦
Thatās it.
If you do one of those two things before the end of our fiscal year, your gift is automatically matched by this amazing $100k matching challenge. Thank you in advance for considering this.
Are you so excited?! Iām so excited! Letās both be so excited!!

PROGRAMMING
Itās puzzle game season again
seriouslyā¦this team was goooood.
The Phipps puzzle game, The Show Must Go On, is up and running once again (back by popular demand).
Day one saw the team from Christiansen Creative solving this thing in less than one hour, which is a pretty amazing time.
The pic above is the ONLY HINT YOU GETā¦until you actually play, at which time weāll give you unlimited hints. š Itās the holidays after all.

my favorite gallery piece of the week
This one is special for two reasons: 1.) itās a part of our Membersā Spotlight show, which consists of only Phipps member-submitted work, and 2.) itās one of Kristinās piecesā¦as in Kristin from the Phipps admin office. GO, KRISTIN!
Check out the Membersā Spotlight exhibition before it closes on 12/8.
This weekās recoBENdation (itāll grow on you) is Wicked. If you havenāt already, put this on your holiday must-see list. Itās absolutely fantastic!
Go see it. Go now.
Iāll wait.
The Flying C(rossword) will be back next week!
