Give to your community center

As our community, state, and country continue to follow “Safer-at-Home” guidelines and navigate the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, much work continues to be done to plan and prepare for The Center’s future opening and rollout of Center programs. Now, more than ever, our community needs us. And we need our community. In this unprecedented time of uncertainty, non-profits like The Center need your support more than ever before. The 2020 Giving Challenge beginning tomorrow at noon is the perfect opportunity for you to “Be The One” and do whatever you are able in support of these small organizations that truly define and enhance our community.

“Be The One” to spread love.

“Be The One” to give hope.

“Be The One” to promote happiness.

“Be The One” to support The Center, our communities gathering place so that we might quickly move forward to bring our AMI Family back together and enhance the health and wellness of individuals of all ages.

This year The Center is fortunate to start off strong thanks to the generous contributions of Bob and Carol Carter and Mark and Mary Catherine Melancon. But your contribution has never been more important than it is right now. During tomorrow’s 2020 Giving Challenge by The Community Foundation of Sarasota all donations of $25 to $100 will be matched by The Patterson Foundation. Give here!

The Melancon family has committed to also match these donations essentially tripling your donation. For those of you who can give more, Bob and Carol Carter will also match donations between $500 and $1,000 up to $10,000. This Challenge which began on April 20 is almost completed as a result of pre-campaign gifts thanks to the generous responses we received last week! Give here today. Or give during the Giving Challenge.

In times like this, we are reminded of how interconnected we all are. Tomorrow we ask you to “Be The One” and help reconnect this community,
bringing us back together again better than ever! Thanks to you!

Stay Safe Y’all.
