Celebration of Giving 2020 honors those who’ve made an impact
One of our favorite fall events is our annual Celebration of Giving to recognize and honor the generous individuals, businesses and volunteers who impact lives and make our community a great place to live!
Over the years we’ve changed up the theme a bit to include formal events to more casual soirees, like lasts year’s baseball-themed Celebration of Giving at the Building for Kids Children’s Museum.
At a critical time when nonprofits are challenged to continue serving our communities, we could not be more thankful for the donors who make that vital support possible in 2020. But since we’re all staying safe at home and unable to gather together as we’d like, we’ve come up with a creative way to thank each and every one in the Fox Valley Region who faithfully and generously give to local nonprofit organizations through the Community Foundation.
We’re not only thanking them via mail, we’ve enlisted the help of Image Studios to help us put together a special message of thanks to those who have made an impact in the community with your grants and gifts to local nonprofits and organizations.
In October we asked some of our nonprofit partners to put together messages of thanks, and our staff and board members chimed in too! Here is that message for all to enjoy. With heartfelt appreciation, THANK YOU:
This video made me smile!! With pride and gratitude thanks to all the donors and the Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region for making a positive impact for so many nonprofits – but more importantly for the participants that we serve. You give us HOPE!!
