Giving Hearts Day, about to celebrate their 12th annual event on February 14th, 2019, is a day to support area non-profits in a single day of giving that grows and grows every…single…year.
Last year, thousands of new donors gave for the first time and 2019 is no different. Businesses and individuals have purchased special GHD gift cards, they are connecting as “Charity Champions” and making sure that funds are raised, but so are friends!
