We took time off yesterday to think about all of the things in our lives that we are thankful for. Food, shelter, clothing and all of the loved ones that care about us. Though many people had great meals, spent time with family and are off on a shopping spree today, we hope that you will continue to think about those people that can use help throughout the year. We encourage you to donate to Blessings in a Backpack or Basket Brigade, our two featured organizations that provide meals.
Registration is now open for Sports Philanthropy WORLD 2020! We have a special SUPER EARLY BIRD rate valid through December 31, 2019. We look forward to having you join us for this fantastic event.
