'I Gave A Buck' Challenge To Support New Hope Celebrates Events

NEW HOPE, PA — New Hope Celebrates' "I Gave a Buck' challenge is returning for its second Giving Tuesday, a global movement to open the giving season at the end of each year.

The non-profit LGBTQ+ organization depends on the generosity of partners and community members to support its activities. This year, New Hope Celebrates' all-volunteer board has set a goal of $3,500 for its fundraising.

“This year, we finally had the opportunity to celebrate coming OUT of our “pandemic cocoons” and see each other at events in 2021," Matthew Hanson, president of New Hope Celebrates, said. "We are excited for a BIG year of events in 2022 and your support on #GivingTuesday will help to fund those activities.”

All funds raised will support New Hope Celebrates and New Hope Celebrates History efforts in 2022.

In addition to funds raised during the event, this year new board member John Bell has pledged to match the first $1,000 in donations received.

"Giving Tuesday inspires people all around the world to embrace their power to drive progress around the causes they care about, not just on one day but throughout the year," said Asha Curran, the CEO and co-founder of #GivingTuesday.
