2023 Fundraising & Donor Drive Totals
Fundraiser: We netted a RECORD $4,000 for Be The Match, which pays for 40 new registrants! With so many more teams this year, an amazing donation from the Korslund Family Charitable Fund, and our biggest Cash Raffle yet, we surpassed our strongest year by $1000! BONUS - there is a donation match offer right now that will DOUBLE our impact, so we actually helped raise $8,000 for Be The Match!
Donor Drive: There were 13 new people who joined the registry this year! This was lower than our goal but it only takes 1 person to say Yes and save a life! We’d love to find a way to increase this number next year so if you have ideas, please give us your feedback HERE. Also, it’s not too late, you can still join the registry by clicking HERE.
