Only 6 more days until Sacramento's "Big Day of Giving", to benefit The GreenHouse and 400 other local non-profits in the region. You've heard the radio announcements, you seen the advertisements, all that's left is to GIVE where your heart is on May 6th!

Why give to The GreenHouse on May 6th?
The GreenHouse is making long-term impacts on under-resourced youth and families in North Sacramento. One GreenHouse partner recently said after an onsite visit, "You guys are completely changing the trajectory of these kids lives." This entire community is being transformed, one life at a time.

Why else?
Every gift you give on May 6th will be matched by a pool of local and national donors - maximizing your impact for a cause you care about. Whether it's $25 or $2500, your donation helps us expand our reach to serve more youth and more families - and it's matched giving! (pro-rated match, based on total donation amounts)

How to give on May 6th?
On May 6th, starting at 12:00 am midnight and for a 24-hour period, you can visit www.givelocalnow.org and make a donation on The GreenHouse' special donation page. Special cash prizes of $2500 and $1500 are given to organizations that raise the most from 9-10 am and 12-1 pm; so start your morning with a donation to The GreenHouse and get us on the "leaderboard" to increase our visibility to new donors!

How else can I help?
Please consider forwarding this email to your networks as a way to spread the word through social media. This is a regional effort to boost philanthropy, especially among new donors, with an ambitious goal to raise $1 million for local non-profits and to engage a total of 5,000 donors. Pass it along!

If you've been waiting for a good time to make a big or small donation to The GreenHouse, May 6th could be your day! Give where your heart is! Find out more at GiveLocalNow.org. Thank you!

Ana and Ashley visited the tide pools at Point Reyes as part of their "Fun Fridays" workshop series with Kayla from Sacramento Waldorf School.

Operation: Restore and Revive The Clubhouse is nearly complete! Join us on June 13th as we celebrate our Grand Opening and honor the volunteers and donors who made this six-year long dream come true. District 3 City Councilman Steve Cohn and Mayor Pro Tem Angelique Ashby will be on-site to help us commemorate the building.

Everyone who contributed time or financial gifts to the project is invited to be part of a special photo album that will remain in the Clubhouse for years to come. And, it’s not too late to get in on the giving! To help provide a few of the needed finishing touches and to give a "housewarming" gift to The GreenHouse, please shop from our Amazon Wish List.
