For the fifth straight year, the Children’s Center will participate in Give Local 757, a local fund-raising event where people can donate from anywhere in the world via the internet.

The event will take place from midnight through midnight on Tuesday, May 8. During that time, everyone can become a philanthropist by donating online at givelocal757.org. This year’s event is being hosted by the Peninsula Community Foundation and the Hampton Roads Community Foundation.

On the day of the event, donors can make a donation on the website using MasterCard, Visa, or American Express. There will be links to the Give Local 757 website from the Children’s Center webpage (www.childrenscenterva.com) and the Children’s Center Facebook page (Children’s Center OFFICIAL PAGE).

The minimum donation is $10.

“We are excited to be a part of Give Local 757 for a fifth year,” said Jeff Zeigler, Community Relations coordinator for the Children’s Center. “We are grateful for the hosts who are coordinating this event. These Foundations are showing true leadership when it comes to supporting non-profits across Hampton Roads and Western Tidewater. Fundraising is a big part of what nonprofits do to be able to provide needed services to the community.

“Once again our goal is to raise $5,000 through this one-day campaign.” Zeigler added.
