As we announced back in May, The562 is thrilled to be included in the annual Long Beach Gives fundraiser. We’re fortunate to be among the 150+ non-profits who will be working together to raise both awareness and funding for important causes and organizations around our community. Long Beach Gives Day is a full 24 hours of giving on Thursday, September 24, 2020, with the goal of raising $1 million for Long Beach’s non-profit organizations.
On this day, we turn to the community and ask for your support in funding our mission of providing reliable, award-winning sports and education reporting to the city of Long Beach. This is an important day for fundraising, and we hope everyone can chip in–with a donation, a retweet, a share, or any other way to help us spread the word.
We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve secured a total of $1,5000 in challenge funds, thanks to the generous support of Marilyn Bohl, along with Andy and Megan Kerr. That means any donation you make will be matched dollar-for-dollar, for the first $1,500 of donations. That means your contribution will go twice as far today, and is still completely tax-deductible!
We’re also excited to offer the following prizes, which will be given to three of our donors, selected at random:
- $50 Gift Card to Naples Rib Company
- Exclusive 562 merch bag including a t-shirt, stickers & buttons
- One FREE item (past or present) from the Long Beach LTD collection
To win one of the prizes above, donate to The562 on our Long Beach Gives page. (Minimum $5 donation) Also, please post a receipt of your contribution, so your friends and family will know that you support local journalism in Long Beach! Thank you for your generous, unwavering support. We love you!
