CaringBridge Launches 25th Anniversary Giving Campaign
Eagan, Minn. (June 6, 2022) – In celebration of the 25th anniversary of CaringBridge, a giving campaign is launching on June 7 with a 24-hour, $50,000 challenge grant from the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation. CaringBridge donors can help the organization receive that donation by giving on June 7.
Running through June 15, the campaign also includes a generous matching gift donated by the Bruce Smith family. Donations received on June 14 and 15 will be matched up to $10,000.
The giving campaign honors Baby Brighid, the tiny girl whose short life inspired CaringBridge. June 7 is her birthday—CaringBridge donors can continue to honor her legacy and spread hope, healing and connection through a financial gift.
“Anyone handing a significant health challenge can benefit from support and community,” says Tia Newcomer, CaringBridge CEO. “The past couple years have yet again demonstrated the value of health providers and caregivers. To keep providing care, caregivers need to know they are supported. They can access community through our free website. We are grateful for our generous donors and supporters who understand the need and whose donations allow our website to provide an accessible support network to thousands of families.”
