The 2025 Give Local 757 Giving Day is just around the corner and we are SO excited to see all the momentum and energy for this event!

If this is your first time hearing about this event, here are a few fast facts to get you caught up!

This is a 24 hour online donation BLITZ! Kicking off at 12:01am and ending at 11:59pm on Tuesday, May 6th. *Keep in mind this is the Eastern Time Zone!
This is our 12th year participating in this Hampton Roads Giving day that includes 150+ other non profits!
The wonderful Peninsula Community Foundation is who organizes and supports all these non profits! They are incredible!
Every year, PCF orchestrates many sponsorships and that promotes PRIZE MONEY being available for the participating non profits to race for! The Prize money ranges from $500-1000 and is based on a variety of contests throughout the day!

This year’s theme is “GAME ON!” We got inspiration from our recent announcement of being featured on the new Monopoly Game: Virginia Beach edition! Isn’t that fun?

Our Goals This Year:

  • Have 40 Fundraising Pages working for the VGL Goal!
  • Raise $200,000 in 24 hours!
  • Have 1,000 Donors participate
  • Win TWO Prizes!

We’re focused on having:

  • The MOST Unique Donors (different names/card payments)
  • Have donations from the MOST U.S. States! Who do you know? Where do they live? (:-D)

Please SAVE the DATE and Save your Donations for TUESDAY May 6th! We’ll share the Donation Link when the event is “LIVE”
