‘Twas the night before , and all through town
Give Local signs were shining, and nonprofits were proud;
All donors stood ready to support a great cause
In the hopes that their favorite nonprofits might win some applause;
With generous local business pledges made, and ten years to celebrate
Give Local 2025 is destined to be great 💙❤️💜
From 601 N. Main Street, you heard the Arras Foundation team declare
Toast to 10 Years: is tomorrow! Will YOU be there?
