Community Media of South Central PA Celebrating Community
Area nonprofits, of the 115 that participated in the 2024 Adams County Community Foundation’s Annual Giving Spree, gather at the R/C Theater in Gettysburg, on December 13th for the ‘Big Revel’. Until this event the nonprofits organizations are not aware of the amount they raised during the prior month’s countywide fundraiser.
During the 24 hour Giving Spree held this past November 7th donors could chose give monetary gifts that the nonprofit’s receives a total check for at this event or donors can choose to give toward and endowment for a nonprofit organization that the Adams County Community Foundation administers. After a nonprofit’s endowment crosses the $10,000 mark they start to receive and annual dividend payout.
