DoMore24 Delaware Campaign – Thank you! |
|
Thank you to our Founders and Donors for supporting the Do More 24 Delaware fundraising event held on March 4-5, 2021. This year's giving day event raised nearly $2 million in 24 hours for 412 nonprofits serving Delaware, including the Fund for Women. The Fund for Women’s total proceeds from this fundraising event included $3,530.99, part of this came from a share of the DoMore24 stretch pool! |
