The Giving Common Challenge

Cambridge at Home is pleased to announce that we will be participating in the Boston Foundation's Giving Common Challenge, which will take place over the course of 36 hours, beginning at 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday, October 10th and extending to 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 11th. Mark your calendars because we will need your help!

We will be joining with more than 500 other nonprofits to raise money together and compete for prizes that range from $1,000 to $25,000. If CAH is one of the first 10 nonprofits to receive 50 donors, the organization will win a $1,000 prize. To maximize our chances of winning, CAH members and friends plan to make their online donation on October 10th between 6-8pm. If CAH raises more funds than other nonprofits over the entire 36 hour period, we have a chance to win a grand prize of $25,000!

Here's how you can help- mark your calendar for October 10th, 6-8pm and follow these 5 simple steps:

1) Type https://www.givingcommon.org into the search box of your web browser, or click on this link.

2) Type "Cambridge At Home" in the "By Organization Name or Keyword" box on the right side of the page.

3) Click on the first listing, Cambridge at Home.

4) On the CAH page, click the blue DONATE button on the menu bar in the middle of the page.

5) On the donate form, choose your donation amount: $25 (minimum) to $5,000 (maximum), complete the credit card information form, and then click the SUBMIT button. That's all it takes!

If you need assistance, please call the CAH office at 617-864-1715 or visit the office, and our staff can walk you through the donation process. If you prefer not to donate on the internet, you can always donate directly to CAH via check or credit card. If you are unable to donate at this time, please spread the news about how our work has influenced you to motivate your friends to donate.

Thanks so much!
