I’m off to give a presentation about young donors at the Youth Communication Chicago Board meeting but before I head out, I wanted to share with you all the great news!

Individual fundraisers on GiveForward.org have raised $21,455 as of this afternoon.  That is $21,000 that is going to amazing causes like stem cell research, animal rescue clinics, canvassing for presidential candidates, and more.

Yesterday, alone, GiveForward processed more than 40 individual donations, which might not sound like a lot, but for only being 9 weeks old…that’s pretty incredible!

Thank you all, especially those of you raising money for Run for a Reason this weekend in NYC!  You all have done an outstanding job of sharing important causes with your family and friends.

Keep up the great work, fundraisers!  And good luck to all of those runners in Central Park this weekend!
