WHAT'S HAPPENING AT PLN?

Your Donations Matched During Holiday Season!

We are grateful for each and every one of our donors -- past and present! As we always do, we kick off our own fundraising season in the fall and ask that you consider including Purple Line NOW in your holiday given when possible. 

***We are so fortunate that we have a long time donor who has matched donations each and every autumn for the past many years -- and we have just received word that they are going to match your donation again this year!!** 

That means, if you give a gift, our donor will match that gift dollar-for-dollar until we reach our goal or the end of the campaign. We will bring you more specifics soon, but we are so grateful that our generous donor has offered to help make your gift even more impactful to the work we do!

Below is our list of donors who have given in the past twelve months. We appreciate each and every donation -- and if you don't see your name on the list, we hope you will consider renewing (or giving for the first time!)

Your support will be used to continue this newsletter and to continue our education forums. We meet every month to share information and keep abreast of all things Purple Line which helps us bring the latest news to you.

You can donate easily by clicking the PURPLE button below or the link right HERE.
