The 2013 GoodGiving Guide Challenge kicks off on Friday, November 1.

Blue Grass Community Foundation is hosting a party from 3 – 7 p.m. at West Sixth Brewing to launch this year’s efforts. The nonprofit with the most guests at the party will win the first challenge — a $666.66 donation!

Last year, the community helped us finish in the top ten and raise more then $17,000 to nurture lives harmed by intimate partner abuse. With your help, this year we hope to raise $20,000 to provide safety, healing, and advocacy services for victims.

Please stop by the launch party this Friday to say hello and share your support of our organization. The party’s free of charge, and the first guests to arrive will receive a free cupcake. Drinks and food will be available for purchase from the bar.

If you can’t attend the launch party this Friday, please consider making a challenge gift in our name on November 1. Follow this link to our donation page at the GoodGiving Guide Challenge website. We could really use your help to start this year’s challenge strong!
