The Holyoke Merry-Go-Round Will Participate in Valley Gives Day on Tuesday, May 3, 2016

Join us in celebrating Pioneer Valley non-profit organizations on Valley Gives Day - Tuesday, May 3, 2016. Valley Gives is a 24-hour online giving event sponsored by the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts to encourage philanthropy and the spirit of giving among the residents of Hampden, Hampshire, and Franklin counties. The Holyoke Merry-Go-Round will be participating in this special event. Prizes are awarded to organizations that have the most contributors as well as those that raise the most funds.

The Holyoke Merry-Go-Round will also participate in a Valley Gives Day event hosted by the Holyoke Public Library along with Holyoke Reach Out to Read. Stop by the Library from 12 to 2pm to meet representatives from the aforementioned organizations, enjoy snacks, and make a donation. Any donations made online to Valley Gives during 12-2pm Power Hours will enter the donors into raffles to win small prizes and it will enter the charities into a raffle to win an additional $500 from the Community Foundation.

Please consider making a donation to the Holyoke Merry-Go-Round to help us continue to operate and maintain our 87-year-old "Happiness Machine." To learn more about this special giving event, please visit www.valleygivesday.org.
