Three More Days to GIVE A HOOT for Park County Nonprofits
With over $2.9 Million Raised, the Countywide Giving Challenge Continues Through Friday, July 31
Park County Community Foundation’s 8th annual monthlong giving challenge, Give A Hoot, is in its final hours. The generosity has been extraordinary with Park County residents having made approximately 3,500 donations to date. With three days left, the campaign has raised over $2.9 million and is on track to exceed last year’s high-water mark of $3.2 million by the time giving closes at 11:59 p.m. on Friday, July 31.
A live Give A Hoot campaign ticker at give-a-hoot.org shows real-time progress, and every dollar raised for participating nonprofits during Give A Hoot will be eligible to receive partial matching funds from the Park County Community Foundation (PCCF). Thanks to the generosity of community members, the Give A Hoot Matching Pool has grown well over $500,000 and will continue to grow as all are invited to contribute to the matching pool as well as to their favorite nonprofits.
“We are so humbled by the love and generosity shown by Park County year after year,” said Keva Ward, program manager at PCCF. “We typically see half of our donations during the last week of Give A Hoot, so we are thrilled to be closing in on another amazing July. For everyone that has given, thank you! And for those still wanting to support Park County nonprofits and take advantage of the Give A Hoot Matching Pool funds, every gift of every size counts towards making Park County better for everyone.”
