We’re so grateful that TASC is providing a generous match challenge up to $1,500 from 10-11am! That means that during that hour TASC will match every dollar we receive in donations, as long as we reach a total of $1,500 in donations.

We have a second match hour sponsored by our Executive Director, Lea Kitz! She will match donations up to $1,000 during our power hour from 2-3pm. Let’s make her pay!
