We're soaked with excitement for the Amazing Raise - and we've got our eyes on the grand prize: $20,000 to the non-profit receiving the highest number of $50 donations during the event! Will you help us get there?

 

On September 18th and 19th, more than 500 Richmond-area nonprofit organizations will compete for thousands of dollars in online donations and incentive prizes over 36 hectic hours.

 

We have an incentive for you, too: to make a big splash, all of our fans who donate $50 or more to BHC during The Amazing Raise will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win "The Moby," a top-of-the-line rain barrel with stand and installation from H2o Collect, valued at $250. H20 Collect is a local, woman-owned business which has installed these water-saving barrels at a number of BHC's single-family homes.

 

In addition, 3HC, BHC's Junior Board, is hosting an Amazing Raise Happy Hour on the 18th, from 5:00 - 9:00 p.m. We'll have light hors d'oeuvres, a cash bar, and a sprinkling of electronic devices and helping hands ready to assist with your online donations. Come out, unwind and have a gnosh while we watch the donations pour in on the real-time leaderboard. As an added attraction, donors of $50 or more who also attend the happy hour will be entered into The Amazing Rain Barrel drawing twice, doubling your chances of winning! For more happy hour information and to RSVP, contact Laura Dickinson.

 

Don't "deluge" yourself! No matter how badly you want the Moby, you'll have to wait at least until 6 a.m. on the 18th for your donation to qualify. By that time, we will have provided you with a special online donation link directly to BHC's Amazing Raise page. Watch for it in your e-mail, and check our Facebook, Twitter, and Web pages!

 

Let's do something AMAZING together!

 

We are grateful to  for its donation of The Amazing Rain Barrel, and sponsorship of The Amazing Raise happy hour!
