NEW Virtual Send-Off Giving Event
The purpose of our virtual giving event is to reach nationwide and international team supporters who couldn’t make it to Vermont for our November 4th event. Supporters will have the last 2 weeks of October to take advantage of the same matching grants and pledges to make your support go further. Supporters can leave a note of support, share the campaign with friends, and be recognized for their generosity. We will have hidden prize thresholds, random drawings for givers and updates on progress throughout the week.
Prizes for hidden gift thresholds and random drawings will be announced on November 6th. Make sure to give us a mailing address when you donate to be eligible.
