Event Description:

Connect. Network. Fundraise. Did you know that networking can help you raise money for your favorite charity? This new kind of fundraising event is geared toward YPs, featuring local nonprofit fundraising professionals.

Raising money is a critical piece of philanthropy. If you're new to the fundraising profession or want to raise money for your favorite charity and just haven't known where to start, then you need the tools to Connect to Your Cause. This nonprofit event will give you the opportunity to:

• Network with area fundraising professionals and hear their stories & experiences
• Learn how social networking and building relationships are key to "making the ask"
• Discover how you can leverage your networks and utilize the tools of successful nonprofit fundraising

Join us and connect the right tools to your cause so you can “Get More” for your organization! 

We'll begin the evening with networking, followed by a panel session and Q & A with nonprofit professionals.
