2021 WyoGives Thank You

7/16/2021

Thank you for making WyoGives an incredible success! It was heartwarming to watch our state and neighbors come together to support the heartbeat of our communities: our nonprofits. More than 190 nonprofits across the state participated in WyoGives, and an unbelievable total of $2.36 million was raised, and more than $235,277 was raised by 18 nonprofits right here in Campbell County. 

This year, 63 donors helped Fur Kids Foundation raise nearly $18,000. We had four donors who pledged to match up to $4,300—two were anonymous, but we’d also like to publicly thank Felicia Jane Pilates and Forget Me Not Floral and Gift. The board is quite humbled by the swift action our supporters took to help us raise more. You are incredible.

As we mentioned on social media during WyoGives, the Hughes Charitable Foundation generously pledged to match every dollar raised online up to $1,000,000 during the 24-hour day of giving. We received nearly $4,000 from that match. 

In the evening, Fur Kids Foundation joined 15 other Campbell County nonprofits to throw a Block Party celebrating the day of fundraising. This is where our community truly shined: you helped us raise more than $23.5 thousand that will be split between all 16 nonprofits. We are so blessed to be part of this wonderful community. These funds will be split among the following nonprofits:
  • AVA Community Art Center
  • Climb Wyoming
  • Council of Community Services
  • Edible Prairie Project
  • Energy Capital Habitat for Humanity
  • Fur Kids Foundation
  • Gillette Abuse Refuge Foundation
  • Gillette Chamber Singers
  • Gillette College Foundation
  • Gillette Main Street
  • Gillette Reproductive Health
  • Northeast Wyoming Community Health Foundation
  • Rockpile Museum Association
  • Salvation Army
  • Women's Resource Center of Northeast Wyoming
  • YES House Foundation

​We have some businesses to say thank you to for helping with the Block Party; they are:
  • Kissack Water and Oil for their $5,000 match
  • Peabody for their $5,000 match
  • First Northern Bank of Wyoming for their $500 match
  • Campbell County Health for sponsoring our radio ads/live remote, printing, umbrellas, and more
  • Kellen Smith for the amazing FREE concert
  • Simpson’s Printing for the table tent printing
  • The following gave 10% of their proceeds on July 14: Big Lost Meadery and Brewery, Center Bar, EK Jewelers, The Ice Cream Café, The Local, The Prime Rib Restaurant & Wine Cellar, The Railyard, and Ranch & Roost (during the concert)
  • Big Horn Mountain Pack Goats who brought goats to the event, and is giving portion of any sales made for backpacking trips
  • love + flour for donating 25% of orders from July 13-14

This was such an amazing day. Thank you for supporting Fur Kids Foundation and other nonprofits around the state. 

WyoGives is an initiative of the Wyoming Nonprofit Network that is designed to bring the state together as one community to raise money and awareness for Wyoming’s nonprofits. This 24-hour day of giving takes place virtually at www.wyogives.org and more than 195 nonprofits are participating throughout the state.
