Dear Louisville Grows’ Peer-to-Peer Fundraisers,
The Louisville Grows board of directors and staff are so excited that you will join us on this fundraising adventure.
Louisville Grows is going all in this year on the Give for Good campaign, the largest single fundraising day in Louisville.
For the past two years, our nonprofit has garnered around $17,000 during the giving day but this year we want to increase that amount by at least 50 percent to $25,500.
We can do that with your help.
We ask that all our Peer Ambassadors raise at least a minimum of $500 in donations and we hope this page will help you achieve success. If you have any questions, please contact Shelia Joneleit, this year’s Louisville Grows Campaign Director at donations@lousivillegrows.org or 608/515-2517.
We appreciate your support for Louisville Grows!
