North Texas Giving Day, September 19th, is quickly approaching and we need YOU to help us win the fight against sudden cardiac arrest in youth!
First started in 2009, Communities Foundations of Texas’ North Texas Giving Day is an 18-hour online giving event where community members have the opportunity support local non-profits through one platform, helping to spread awareness and assisting these organizations in reaching their goals and continuing to improve their communities. Last year, Living for Zachary was part of the success as Communities Foundation of Texas brought together 2,700 local non-profits like us to raise $48 million for our region.
This year, Living for Zachary’s plans for North Texas Giving Day are bigger than ever with a goal of $20,000! Reaching this goal will allow us to provide 120 free youth heart screenings and 6 donated Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) to the community. But we can’t do it alone: this year, Living for Zachary invites you to Get in the Huddle with us by becoming a FUNdraiser.
