It’s not too late to “GiveBIG”

Thanks to all those who generously donated to WCB during the GiveBIG 2023 online event!  We had 60 unique donors with a 39% retention rate for returning donors.  We’re just over halfway to our goal, and it’s not too late to be a part of continuing WCB’s mission in the state.  Donate to WCB or pick a chapter to share in the results by donating from a chapter-specific fundraising page.
