Please join us on November 5, 2021,
for a Virtual Celebration of
Philanthropy in Our Community
Add to Outlook Calendar
Due to the uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic, this year's National Philanthropy Day Awards Celebration will be virtual. In this way, we can still celebrate the impact of our awardees on our community while abiding by our commitment to protect the well-being and safety of our members, guests and awardees.
Sponsorships will remain an important part of the day's celebration. Sponsors will receive recognition during the virtual event and be prominent in the program booklet that will be mailed to every person who registers. For more information, click here.
Tickets to the event will be free. Because we understand that area nonprofits are still being impacted by the pandemic, we are waiving the $50 ticket price. Although there is no cost, we still need those who wish to participate to register so that we can send them the connection information. Click here to register.
If you wish to honor a specific awardee, or honor all of them, please consider donating to our support our mission. Your donation will help AFPNEO continue to foster the development and growth of fundraising professionals and promote high ethical standards in the fundraising profession during the COVID-19 crisis. If you wish to donate to this mission, please click here.
The National Philanthropy Day Celebration is our opportunity to shine the spotlight on the people who truly make a difference throughout our nonprofit community.
Thank you for your continued support of the Association of Fundraising Professionals and your commitment to philanthropy in Northeast Ohio. We hope to see you in November.
Sincerely,
Carol Hawk & Renee Scherick, CFRE
Co-Chairs, National Philanthropy Day Committee
