Dear Friends,
From time to time we turn the President's Message "bully pulpit" over to a special guest. This month we've asked Brent Christopher, CEO of Communities Foundation of Texas, to preview North Texas Giving Day, September 18, 2014, which benefits many of our members' agencies.
Diana Marquis, CFRE
Greater Dallas AFP President
Dear Greater Dallas AFP Members,
After last year's national record-crushing 75,000 donations totaling $25.2 million, North Texas Giving Day is back with the hope that North Texas will rise to the challenge and outdo itself once again. With new community events and extra time to donate, the sixth annual North Texas Giving Day aims to raise the giving day bar once again to benefit more local nonprofits. On September 18, 2014, donations can be made 6 a.m. to midnight to more than 1,600 certified nonprofits listed at www.NorthTexasGivingDay.org. Donations $25 and above will be amplified by $2 million in bonus funds and prizes.
New this year, Communities Foundation of Texas will host the Dallas County Donation Station with the inaugural North Texas Giving Day Kids Give from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at our headquarters, 5500 Caruth Haven Lane, Dallas, TX. The Kids Give, sponsored by DFWChild, will provide kids a chance to donate their loose change as well as do hands-on philanthropic and kid-friendly activities like assembling 'Hope' packages for kids in the hospital and more. Visitors may purchase lunch from local food trucks and watch complimentary showcase performances. See a full list of activities here. We will also be giving out two new prizes to nonprofits that are present to win.
Also new this year, nonprofits are hosting Donation Stations and events all across the metroplex from Fort Worth to McKinney.
Giving Day is a wonderful day to support the important work of nonprofits serving North Texas. Each year, we are amazed by the continued generosity of the donors who participate, and we hope that local nonprofits raise even more money this year.
Thanks to the many AFP member agencies that are participating!
Sincerely,
Brent Christopher
President & CEO
Communities Foundation of Texas
