The Extraordinary Give from the Lancaster County Community Foundation is almost here! On Friday, November 20th, the Lancaster community has the opportunity to make our county a safer, healthier place to live. For 24 hours, you can donate to hundreds of organizations—and your gift dollars will be stretched with money from a $300,000 fund. Participating nonprofits also have the chance to win additional monetary prizes for their programs throughout the day. Let’s work together to guide Lancaster County’s kids, so we can build a community that spends less money on crime, substance abuse treatment, and more. Help Compass Mark Kids continue its nationally-recognized work to prevent substance abuse and nine other health problems that directly impact Lancaster’s children. Your gift to Compass Mark Kids on Friday, November 20th helps give youth in our community the practical life skills to resist:
- Drug Abuse
- Abuse & Neglect
- School Violence
- Pregnancy
- Tobacco Use
- Stress
- Bullying
- Obesity
- Internet Safety
- Sexting
Give to Compass Mark Kids during the Extraordinary Give, and then let Lancaster know where you put your heart and your gift during our Rally Where You Are:
- Take a selfie or pic telling Lancaster which kids’ issue you’re passionate about preventing, like the picture above from Desiree Weber, Compass Mark Administrative Assistant.
- Tag your pic with #CompassMarkKids, #PreventTEN, and #IGiveExtra.
- Wear Compass Mark green.
Let’s do this!
