Lift UP’s Making Connections 2020 Virtual Gala is next Thursday!

Making Connections is our annual event that celebrates our Lift UP family of donors, volunteers and clients. It’s also our most significant fundraising event, and we need you, now more than ever.

People want answers, so we’ve gathered the most frequently asked questions so you’ll know exactly what to expect. We’ve got some exciting things to share.

When is Making Connections 2020?

Making Connections 2020 is Thursday, August 27 at 5:30pm.

The link to the main page for Making Connections is here. There is a brief slideshow to get you excited for the main event.

How much does it cost to participate?

Making Connections is free - there is no fee to participate.

Do I need to RSVP?

RSVPs aren’t required, however, we encourage you to register to help us estimate how many people will be tuning in to the event. Registering also ensures that you receive up-to-date information leading up to the event.

What should I expect?

Our hosts Stephanie and Brian will provide a brief introduction and an overview of Lift UP’s programs and services. We’ve got a cool cooking demonstration from local Chef, author and Board Member, Jenn Louis, using ingredients from our Delivered Food Boxes, as well as a heart-warming video featuring a Delivered Food Box recipient client.

Our hosts will announce donations made during the event and will draw the winners for our virtual raffle! The entire event should last approximately 45 minutes.

Yes please! Purchase your raffle tickets here, or through the link on the main page. Raffle tickets are available for purchase until midnight on Wednesday, August 26.

When will the raffle winners be announced?

Stephanie and Brian will announce the raffle winners at the end of the event. 

How do I donate during the event?

Donate by accessing the “donate button” on the main page - this should direct you to a separate web page for much needed donations.

Can I donate after the event?

Of course! A comprehensive list of donations will be featured on our website after the Making Connections 2020 event ends.

If you have any other questions, feel free to email me and I will do my best to answer them. We look forward to having you join us next Thursday!

Gratefully,
