Dear Friends,
September marks the time for fall appeals and celebrations of gratitude. This also means that National Philanthropy Day is around the corner and our chapter can’t wait to celebrate the charitable work that those in our community do to make a difference and change the world with a giving heart on this special day. On November 17th, six honorees will be recognized for their commitment to change and philanthropy. Registration is now open. I look forward to seeing you at NPD 2022!
Yours in fundraising,
