Giving Hearts Day

24-hour online fundraising event raises support, awareness for ACC

February 11 was Giving Hearts Day—a day in which supporters of the Anne Carlsen Center took advantage of a unique fundraising opportunity organized by Dakota Medical Foundation (DMF). Nearly 200 donors opened their hearts and pocketbooks to make a difference for the remarkable individuals and families the Center serves.

DMF selected the Center, along with other health-related nonprofits across the region, to participate in the 24-hour online fundraising event. Contributions of $10 or more—up to $4,000—were matched by DMF. In total, the Center raised more than $27,000.

“It was a great day for the Anne Carlsen Center,” says Dan Kunzman, the ACC Foundation Executive Director. “We are grateful to Dakota Medical Foundation for the opportunity to participate in this unique event. It was exciting to challenge ourselves to activate donors who appreciate the convenience and immediacy of donating online.”

Gifts from donors have made a variety of enriching programs and projects possible at the Anne Carlsen Center: our state-of-the-art solarium, the therapy pool, our nature trail and nearby gazebo, and ACC Week at Elks Camp Grassick. Our donors empower us to daily achieve our mission: Nurturing abilities. Changing lives
