Another Record-Breaking Warren Gives!
The Community Foundation is pleased to announce another great year for
Warren Gives, held this year on Wednesday, May 19. The 100 participating
organizations raised a total of $731,792.71 an increase of over 12% from the total of $648,232 raised in 2020.
The total includes $60,000 in matching funds donated by the Community
Foundation, DeFrees Family Memorial Fund, Betts Foundation, Crossett,
Northwest Charitable Foundation, McComas Charitable Fund, Sara Sokolski
Memorial Fund, Superior Tire and Rubber, and United Refining Company.

“We are grateful for the outpouring of support for non-profit organizations
serving Warren County,” commented John Lasher, Executive Director of the
Community Foundation. “After last year we were not sure what to expect, but people are so aware of the needs in Warren County and used Warren Gives to support our local organizations. Their generosity is amazing!”
The Foundation will be publishing more information about the event,
including a thank you for all donors, as well as listings of the top fund raisers, and winners of the incentive prizes.
Early planning is already underway for next year’s Warren Gives Event to be held on May 18, 2022.
Final numbers are still being tallied and will be published in the coming days. Below are organization numbers as of 8pm on event day. Thank you to everyone who made Warren Gives 2021 a huge success!
