Give to Our Community: Alabama Gives Day

Give to Our Community: Alabama Gives Day

I know a lot about Huntsville's nonprofits. I have served on boards, worked as an employee, volunteered, and donated to many of the Huntsville's amazing nonprofits. Which is why I was so excited to hear about Alabama Gives Day. A 24 hour, online fundraising blitz for Alabama's nonprofits on February 2, 2012. This campaign is much more than a chance for our area's nonprofits to gain much needed funds; it is a chance for our community to show our support for the organizations that work all year.

This day of giving is about people. Our people. Our community. Here are three amazing reasons you should support Huntsville's nonprofits on February 2, 2012 during the Alabama Gives Day
