Charity work is very important to my family. In fact, my husband is currently the President of a charitable organization called the 200 Foundation. We are very lucky that giving back is part of our everyday life and that we have an extended family through the organization.
The 200 Foundation, which includes an all-volunteer board of directors and countless other volunteers, has been giving back to the community for over 52 years. The organization raises money through events and donations and then redistributes 100% of the monies raised through grants to local non-profit organizations that help those most in need with food, clothing, shelter and rehabilitation services.
This year I volunteered to help with the summer dinner event. This event is very special. Every year a new honoree is nominated and selected based on the amazing work that they have done throughout their community. I am always so moved listening to the honorees speak about their missions.
During the event there is both a silent and live auction where bids are placed on donated items. Again, 100% of the funds raised from this event are filtered directly back into the community. This year, I spent time gathering information about auction items and helped with any other administrative tasks that were asked of me leading up to the event. During the event, I also spent time capturing the event with photos and answering questions that anyone may have had.
While the summer dinner event is both a fundraiser and social event, it feels great knowing I was a part of something that helped raise a substantial amount of money to help those most in need in my community.
