On June 6, local residents can help build better communities and enhance the lives of those in need by participating in the 24-hour online “Do More 24” campaign, powered by the United Way of the National Capital Area. The goal of the campaign is to increase funding - through a day of concentrated giving - for the countless local non-profits that provide valuable services to the neediest area residents.
Residents can do several things to participate:
- Mark June 6 on the calendar and bookmark the “Do More 24” website at http://domore24.org; the website also has a list of the many fundraising events scheduled for the area on June 6;
- Donate that day to a favorite nonprofit organization, or to the “Do More 24” Fund; and
- Follow United Way NCA on Facebook at facebook.com/unitedwaynca and Twitter at @uwnca. Use the #domore24 hashtag to keep the onversation going.
So far, more than 800 nonprofit organizations have registered to participate in “Do More 24.” Organizers expect by June 6 there will be more than 1,000 organizations taking part.
