Sacramento area’s Big Day of Giving underway
(FOX40.COM) — The Sacramento area’s annual Big Day of Giving charity drive is underway Thursday to raise millions of dollars for local nonprofit organizations.
The yearly 24-hour drive is now in its 12th year and includes nearly 800 organizations from the counties of Sacramento, Yolo, Placer and El Dorado that people can donate to.
The event has broken its fundraising record every year since it started, including during the pandemic, when community service groups were in high demand.
Donations made on this day have a chance to be boosted by prizes, and the event’s website maintains leaderboards of organizations raising the most funds.
The Big Day of Giving ends at 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, but the public is encouraged to continue to support local organizations the rest of the year.
