4. Become a matching donor!
Matching donors are businesses or individuals who pledge $500 or more ahead of Big Day of Giving to inspire others in the community to give since they know their donation goes twice as far!
Matching donors will receive an “I Gave” image to share on their website and social media platforms and we’ll also be giving out random prizes to our matching donors this year to express our gratitude!
Matching donors’ names and/or company logos will be listed on our website, social media pages (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram), and through livestreams on May 6th promoting Big Day of Giving. Email us at info@blackberrycreek.org to pledge now!
Current Matching donors include: Iris Natividad, Wallbeds n More in Rocklin, Toube Benedetto, Dedicated Designs, and Dog iBox!
5. Attend our BDOG event at Burger Patch on May 6th!
On May 6th we will be at Burger Patch, our business partner, in Midtown Sacramento to celebrate the launch of their new Blackberry Patch shake in our honor! Come get a shake, meet the baby calves we’re fostering (Goose and Maverick), and spin our prize wheel! Time TBA.
6. Enter the Spread Generosity Challenge!
You can also participate in the Spread Generosity Challenge, a Big Day of Giving porch and window decorating competition that can win your favorite non-profit $500! Just decorate your porch or front windows with anything that represents generosity…special quotes, flowers, rainbows…get creative!
Take a picture of it BEFORE the deadline on May 5th and post it to Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter tagging @bigdayofgiving and hashtagging #blackberrycreek #bdog2021 and #spreadgenerosity
If you send a photo of your creation to us, we’ll share it on our social media platforms too!
