We love to make planning easy for you! We recently brought our calendar back to the print magazine and we continue to highlight big events in the Out on the Towne section. So, why not have a calendar specific to philanthropic events? Everyone has a busy schedule going into the summer, but there is always time to do a little giving. Find a cause that resonates with you and make fundraising fun!
Editor’s note: There are a few to-be-determined (TBD) events listed within the months they typically have been held in past years. For all events listed, always call ahead to confirm date and information, as changes have been known to occur.
