Big Day of Giving
Each year, the Big Day of Giving is held on the first Thursday of May and the Sacramento region comes together to support organizations that make our community stronger. The Big Day of Giving is a 24-hour, community-wide fundraising movement, organized by the Sacramento Region Community Foundation. We’re thrilled to once again be a part of this fun and impactful event, and we hope we can count on your help!
Highlights!
WOW. You did it. We did it — together. Thanks to your incredible generosity, we soared past our Big Day of Giving goal and raised over $60,000 for the Effie Yeaw Nature Center!
We are absolutely blown away by your support. Because of you, we can:
-
Care for our beloved animal ambassadors in upgraded, safer spaces
-
Create unforgettable experiences for schoolchildren, families, and visitors of all ages
-
Expand our environmental education programs and conservation efforts
-
Continue dreaming BIG for the future of Effie Yeaw Nature Center
Your gift ensures that generations to come will be able to explore, discover, and fall in love with the oak woodland we all treasure. From the bottom of our hearts — THANK YOU.
Whether you gave $10 or $1,000, you are now officially part of the EYNC family of champions. We’re raising a (reusable!) glass to you and all you make possible.
Keep an eye out for updates on how your support is making a difference — and be sure to stop by and visit soon. The turkeys, hawks, and skinks would love to thank you in person. 😉
