Could the spirit of giving truly transform a community? Join me as I discuss the record-breaking success of the Big Day of Giving, a dazzling testament to the generosity of the Sacramento region. With Kerry Wood, Executive Director of the Sacramento Region Community Foundation, we explore how the event beat expectations by raising an incredible $13.8 million. Listen to insights on how 30,500 donors made 62,000 heartfelt contributions to 855 nonprofit organizations, all while defying economic uncertainties.
