Like you, I only have so many charitable dollars to invest. I want my contributions to benefit local nonprofits that are providing the most essential services at the highest level for the people most in need. Are you like me?
If you are, there is a wonderful opportunity taking place right here in our community: The 2014 Giving Challenge.
The Giving Challenge is a 24-hour fundraising challenge put together by The Giving Partner and Community Foundation of Sarasota County, along with other local partners, to raise money for LOCAL nonprofits.
Easter Seals Southwest Florida is participating in the 2014 Giving Challenge! The Giving Challenge encourages us to support the local nonprofits doing excellent work right here in our backyard!
Please support Easter Seals Southwest Florida from noon May 6 until noon May 7 by donating to us through to The Giving Challenge!
Help children and adults with developmental disabilities achieve important milestones, develop their full potential and enjoy life!
