On Feb­ru­ary 2, 2012 the Alabama Asso­ci­a­tion of Non­prof­its, in part­ner­ship with the Alabama Broad­cast­ers Asso­ci­a­tion, is tak­ing one day to har­ness the power of indi­vid­ual con­tri­bu­tions statewide. Never before in our state have Alabami­ans had the oppor­tu­nity to come together in such a unique and syn­er­gized way to sup­port hun­dreds of non­prof­its like ours dur­ing a ded­i­cated day of giving.

Alabama Gives Day is sup­ported by the Razoo Foun­da­tion, the Alabama Press Asso­ci­a­tion, Alabama Giv­ing, Inter­mark Group and hun­dreds of non­prof­its in our state. Alabama Gives Day aims to make his­tory by con­nect­ing new and exist­ing donors with hun­dreds of Alabama non­prof­its in just 24 hours. The Fresh­wa­ter Land Trust needs your sup­port to ensure that the cit­i­zens of our com­mu­nity are aware of this day of giv­ing. Only through your sup­port can we together make his­tory and raise much needed fund­ing to sup­port numer­ous non­prof­its located in our com­mu­nity! Will you please help raise aware­ness of Alabama Gives Day on Feb­ru­ary 2?

Save the Date!

Regions Bank and the Fresh­wa­ter Land Trust invite YOU to be a part of his­tory and be the first to see the com­pleted Our One Mile green­way mas­ter plan that this com­mu­nity has been so instru­men­tal in cre­at­ing.

We will unveil the plan, announce the win­ner of the “Name Our Green­way Sys­tem” con­test, and cel­e­brate every­thing that this com­mu­nity has accomplished. So bring your friends, fam­ily and cowork­ers and cel­e­brate the com­ple­tion of the Our One Mile Plan!
