Twenty-three minutes and three new liftetime members
November 9, 2009 by admin
It took just twenty-three minutes for Pittsburgher’s to donate over $1 million to area nonprofits on the Pittsburgh Foundation’s first ever Match Day. Venture Outdoors had 16 people make donations through the PittsburghGives website, and an additional 23 people donated on our website after the matching funds had been exhausted.
The matching funds are still being confirmed but we are estimating that over $16,900 was raised for Venture Outdoors on that day, making October 28th the single biggest day of individual giving in Venture Outdoors history. Thank you to everyone who donated!
As part of this special occasion we also offered up lifetime memberships to anyone who donated $2,500 on the PittsburghGives website, and we are pleased to announce our very first Venture Outdoors Lifetime Members: Tony Delserone, Lazer Palnik and Clark Lingren. Thank you for your generous donations!
congrats! I sure wouldn’t want to have been the web administrator for PittsburghGives that day…
