DERBY — The Great Give, an online fundraiser for more than 450 nonprofits in the region, is scheduled to start at 8 a.m. Wednesday, May 4 and end at 8 p.m. Thursday, May 5.
For the sixth year in a row, The Valley Indy will conduct ‘The Valley Indy Great Give Livestream,’ on Facebook.com/ValleyIndependentSentinel. The goal is to raise awareness about The Great Give, and to explain how the public can help Valley nonprofits, including The Valley Indy.
