Give Local York is a great time for Good People to Give!
When it comes to determining Good People, one quality that’s sure to be revealed is that you’re a giver. And what better time to give to advance Bell’s mission than during the 24-hour celebration of Philanthropy in York County known as Give Local York!
If Bell has ever mattered to you (or to someone you love), please consider making a gift of support during this time. Even if you’re part of The Steady Good, or you had a team in Bell’s Big Bed Race or volunteered at the Big Breakfast, or you made a year-end gift, or gave at any other time in any way: giving during Give Local York is a little extra. It’s a little extra FROM YOU and a little extra FOR US.
Your gift made during GLY will
- make us eligible for stretch pool funds,
- open up matching gifts, and
- give us a chance for competitive prizes (see below!)
Whether you budget big specifically for GLY or you dig deep for $10, when you Give to Bell during Give Local York, you’re showing up when it matters.
You’re doing good that lasts. You’re investing in people and helping to create better outcomes. That’s amazingly generous. Thank You!
