Park City Community Foundation is set to host the 15th edition of Live PC Give PC, the community’s annual day of giving on Nov. 7.
The goal for this year’s event, which has raised more than $35 million for local nonprofits since 2011, is to raise $5.15 million from at least 7,150 individual donors. A total of 144 nonprofits and causes that enhance lives in the Wasatch Back and beyond are participating this year and eligible to receive donations starting at just $5. Donations can be made easily with a couple of clicks at LivePCGivePC.org.
“The community spirit that has been on full display for the past 14 years during Live PC Give PC is remarkable and inspiring,” said Joel Zarrow, Park City Community Foundation president and CEO, in a release. “Despite early-season snowstorms and the pandemic, the fierce commitment to our nonprofits and local pride are unwavering, which is what makes Park City and Summit County truly special. We have high hopes for this celebratory 15th year and encourage everyone to give any amount they can to their favorite organizations.”
Early giving is now open for those who want to give before the 24-hour period begins, but there are advantages to waiting until Nov. 7 as nonprofits will be eligible for significant cash prizes that day. There will also be surprise “power hours” during which all donations made in those timeframes will be boosted by $10, thanks to presenting sponsors Park City Mountain and Vail Resorts EpicPromise.
Two celebrations hosted by the foundation will be held as part of the festivities. All ages are welcome to the Giving Day Fest, an indoor-outdoor event sponsored by Weedon Ranch at Park City Library from 4-6:30 p.m. It will feature live music produced by Mountain Town Music, free tacos, doughnuts from Chomp, hot chocolate, face painting, a 360-degree photo booth, scavenger hunts, games, and a claw machine with prizes. An evening celebration for those 21 and older will follow at High West Saloon from 8 p.m. to midnight. Several nonprofit organizations and partners will be hosting events for Live PC Give PC throughout the day.
“As always, we encourage everyone who lives in the Park City area, has a second home here, or recreates in our mountain paradise to contribute to the organizations that resonate with them. From social services to art and culture, sports, animal welfare, health care and more, Summit County’s nonprofits are truly the backbone of our community, positively impacting every aspect of life here. The greatly needed funds for them are raised by everyone doing their part to contribute what they can.” Zarrow said.
