National Philanthropy Day Luncheon set for 2010
AFP Palm Beach County Chapter will present the National Philanthropy Day Luncheon on Thursday, November 18, 2010, at The Ritz-Carlton Palm Beach. The “Change the World with a Giving Heart” luncheon will be co-chaired by Dana Brookes of YMCA of the Palm Beaches and Calvin Miller, of Gulfstream Goodwill Industries and Lighthouse for the Blind.
National Philanthropy Day (NPD) is a day set aside each year to recognize the great contributions of philanthropy and those people and businesses active in the philanthropic community who enrich our world. First held in 1986, more than 100 AFP chapters held this event across North America last year.
AFP Palm Beach County Chapter will recognize leaders in the categories of Outstanding Philanthropist, Outstanding Philanthropic Private Foundation, Outstanding Philanthropic Corporation, Outstanding Philanthropic Corporate Foundation, Outstanding Volunteer Fundraiser and Outstanding Planned Giving/Legacy Honoree. These awards are a testimony to exceptional accomplishments in the name of giving.
AFP members are encouraged to be a part of the NPD committee. “There is an opportunity for everyone including sponsorship, table sales, program, public relations and others,” says Brookes.
