In-person events may be scarce, but that doesn’t mean fundraising won’t be fun this year! As hard as the last year plus has been for all of us, it has been just as difficult for those non-profits who do great things for our community year after year. Whether it be socially distanced or virtual, find the cause that sticks out to you and attend (or log on to) their philanthropic event!
Editor’s Note: Be sure to double check the organization’s website before attending the event. With COVID-19, many events and plans are still up in the air. This is the most updated information at the time of publication.
