Annex Dance Company is proud to be a part of Lift The Lowcountry, part of a national day of giving planned for May 5th, 2015. As a part of this day, Annex will get matching funds for every donation you, our supporters, give online that day!
Lift the Lowcountry is part of South Carolina’s state-wide giving day (called SC Gives Day) which is itself part of a larger national effort (called Give Local America). All these aim to encourage us all to make gifts that support causes we care about in our community. Part contest, part referendum, all good with over 100 community foundations nationwide working in concert to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of the founding of the first community foundation. All are united in promoting generosity where we live and work.
How It Works
Thanks to our partners at Costal Community Foundation, Annex Dance Company has been invited to participate in SC Gives Day. CCF has lined up some very generous anonymous donors who are giving funds to partially match any donation given to Annex Dance Company online on May 6th, Give Local America and SC Gives Day. The more donations we get, the bigger our piece of the matching funds. And to get more donations, we’ll need your help!
