2.5 hours left of NEPA Gives!

Please consider making a donation during this timeframe to help us maximize our donations.

From now until 7pm tonight

We’re in the final stretch of NEPA Gives with less than 10 hours to go!

This year, your support helped us send a local girl to the Saquon Barkley Youth Football Camp and send five girls to STEM Camp at Penn State. We’re also expanding opportunities for young people right here in NEPA.

If you’ve been meaning to donate, there’s still time. If you can’t donate, a share goes a long way and would mean a lot to us.

Thank you for helping us keep Jenneca’s legacy alive.
