A reminder. . . From the City's newsletter, Worth Noting: "3rd Annual Great Give, Palm Beach & Martin Counties"

Worth Noting, the City's newsletter is free and delivered to your email inbox each week. To sign up use this link. To see this week's edition about the 3rd Annual Great Give, use this link. Here are some excerpts:

The fundraising event will be held on Tuesday, May 3rd from midnight to midnight. Last year’s event raised more than $68 million nationally and $3.1 million locally, with our area ranking 7th in the nation.

What makes this fundraising event different?
Gifts made during the 24-hour period will be multiplied by additional dollars from a bonus pool that have been raised by the Community Foundation of Palm Beach and Martin Counties!
