An anonymous donor will match dollar for dollar of our giving up to $3,000. If NFB of SC raises $3,000, the anonymous donor will also donate $3,000, giving NFB of SC $6,000. Additionally, if NFB of SC has the most unique donations during the power hour on Tuesday from 12:00 until 1:00, we will receive an additional $2,000 giving NFB of SC a minimum total of $8,000 for Midlands Gives. NFB of SC will then make a donation to Rocky Bottom. We are switching gears and putting all of our efforts into NFB of SC on Tuesday, May 5 since we have an anonymous donor willing to match our funds up to $3,000.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>You may call the Center at 803-254-3777 before Midlands Gives and provide your credit card information so that we can process donations during the Power Hour on Tuesday.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Please gather your chapters, divisions, friends, family, neighbors, co-workers to give on Tuesday, May 5 so that NFB of SC can make a huge impact!
