20TH BIG GIVE.
The Meredith Haga Foundation has been selected at random from giving circle member nominations as the recipient of our 20th Big Give! Their mission is to alleviate the stress and hardships of being a living organ donor.
Giving circle member Mary Alice Basconi nominated the nonprofit. She said, "Living donors need tremendous support as they give the organs that save lives. The Meredith Haga Foundation provides help financially, emotionally, and socially."
Post-surgery recovery time for a living donor varies, with an average time of two weeks to a month, and sometimes even longer. The Meredith Haga Foundation provides financial assistance to living organ donors to help with their living expenses. They support individuals who have a desire and are selected as candidates for living organ donation, but face financial difficulty. Our donations will support local living organ donors.
Most people give $100-200 for each Big Give, but you can donate any amount. This is our first of two events this year. Donations are matched 50% by our foundation partner as long as the nonprofit meets their criteria, which we expect they will. Our goal is to raise $5,000+ from individual donors plus $2,500+ from our foundation partner, for a total of at least $7,500 for the nonprofit.
Option A: Donate online. This link will allow you to donate via credit card or Google Pay. In the notes section, please write "Big Give."
Option B: Donate by check. Write your check to Meredith Haga Foundation, put "Big Give" in the memo line, and mail it to Meredith Haga Foundation, 2970 Highway 11W, Blountville, TN 37617.
IMPORTANT: Forward your receipt to givingcircle@tricitieswomenwhocare.com (or notify us of your check amount) so your gift can receive a 50% match. If you give $200, the nonprofit gets $300! The donation deadline for the match is March 21, 2025.
