North Platte Giving Day

Over the years, I have watched successful "Giving Days" be established in Lincoln and Omaha and have an incredible impact on non-profit organizations there - raising hundreds of thousands of dollars. I'm not pleased to share that the Mid-Nebraska Community Foundation in North Platte has established the first-ever North Platte Giving Day. Here's to hoping locals generously open their wallets and support these non-profits that provide so many vital services to our communities.
