Presenting Sponsor
This is a year when community generosity has shone more than ever. While we aren’t able to host our annual luncheon event to recognize the 2020 Giving Hearts Awards nominees, we virtually shine a light on the incredible generosity and contributions of the nominated individuals, companies and organizations.
Whether by committing countless hours of fundraising efforts, donating a lifetime of savings or making pivotal gifts, each of our 2020 Giving Hearts Awards nominees embody the spirit of philanthropy. National Philanthropy Day was November 15th, a day to recognize the incredible generosity and contributions of individuals, companies and organizations worldwide.
We are extremely grateful for the support of our sponsors and our volunteer committee who have made this possible.
