Thank You, Davis! You’re Amazing!
Cool Davis is amazed and awed by the generosity of those who donated this past Big Day of Giving, Thursday, May 7. The giving from to our match fund, as well as online and offline gifts kept arriving over the course of the week, with a final total of $21,873, a new record for Cool Davis!
For many organizations, Big Day of Giving fundraising is just the beginning of the extra support that will be needed in the coming months. Many, like the Yolo Food Bank, are providing direct service helping front line workers, families in need, and businesses in crisis. Other local ways to give include the Yolo COVID-19 Relief Initiative, and the Downtown Davis Gift Stimulus Program.
Cool Davis wants to specially thank our partners at Davis Media Access (DMA) who contnually provide us with technical advice and inspirational support in our work together! Our board, staff, and volunteers also contributed time and effort behind the scenes and on the “day of”! It’s always fun to work as a team, even in this strange COVID-19 reality. Thank you!
Cool Davis extends a heartfelt thank you to our very cool donors.
