New personalized webpages ready
for you to raise support
for L.A. Works 15th Anniversary!
Are you ready? Last month we announced our 15th Anniversary Campaign to raise $45,000 on-line – $3,000 for every year we’ve been in existence. We promised to make it easy for you to rally your friends to support us, and we're ready to roll!
We now have the tools that will allow you to create your own personal fundraising webpage and tell your friends, family and colleagues the impact volunteering with L.A. Works has had on your life. We know you've been working with L.A. Works to change this city for the better - now help us to help you - by creating even more opportunities to volunteer in the coming year.
Creating this page is fun, easy, and personal. Read more about how to get started at our site at firstgiving.com/laworks. Thanks for your support!
