Annual Online Giving Marathon
to Benefit Local Non-Profits
GIVE LOCAL WILL BEGIN IN...
1) This year we have $17k in matching funds for AWS. The first $17,000 in donations will be matched – doubling your contribution amount!
2) There are additional prizes and bonus opportunities throughout the 36-hours of Give Local. You might find some that catch your interest. Be sure to check Give Local Prizes during the event!
3) Of course, we will post the link to the Leader Board once available. Because... it's always fun to see how things are going!
4) In a time when shelters across Connecticut are stretched thin, our work matters more than ever. Support Animal Welfare Society during Give Local Greater Waterbury and Litchfield Hills and help local animals find their way home. AWS President Message
