The second annual Colorado Gives Day is Tuesday, December 6, 2011. In its initial year, Coloradans raised 8.7 million dollars in 24 hours for nearly three dozen nonprofit organizations.
2011 will mark the first year that Greeley Area Habitat for Humanity will participate in Colorado Gives Day. Our goal is to raise $10,000 and if that number is acheived a local donor has agree to match it.
Now in our 25th year, contributions received during Colorado Gives Day will go toward the building of a Silver Anniversary Home in 2012.
