Inspired by The Seattle Foundation’s GIVE BIG day. They have raised 6.5 million dollars in less than24 hours. Freakin Amazing! I think we should do this in Tucson. But first I have to write the minutes for the Association of Fundraising Professional meeting. One step at a time.There is still time to give to your favorite charity and if you don’t have a favorite you can give to one of my favorites, SEATLE DANCE PROJECThttp://www.seattlefoundation.org/GivingCenter/GiveBIG/Pages/Default.aspx
