Give Big in Canyon Lake March 22

“It’s Time to Give Big” on March 22, and lots of charities and non-profits in Canyon Lake need some of that bigness.

Whether you care about the environment, arts, animal welfare or entrepreneurship, Central Texas’ big give — #BigGive2018 — has raised nearly $15 million over the last four years.

This year’s Big Give goal is $7 million and Canyon Lake has a lot of charities listed on thebiggivesa.org.

The Big Give encompasses Bexar County and 13 additional counties in South Texas.

It is a collaborative effort led by the Nonprofit Council and the San Antonio Area Foundation, in cooperation with two regional partners — Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country and the New Braunfels Area Community Foundation.

How does it work?

At 12 a.m. March 22, the website opens a 24-hour online day of giving.
