Philanthropy Playoffs
Our library is one of 21 organizations participating in the second annual Philanthropy Playoffs hosted by Community Foundation of Monroe County.
You can support our library with a donation or a social media share!
We are playing for the Carol Mohr/Margaret Walls/Nina Pemberton Fund which is designated for supporting youth needs in the library. Funds are used for youth programming, STEAM kits, Launchpads, audiobooks, books, and more to enhance resources for children and teens in our community.
Donations made through the Philanthropy Playoffs can be directed to a specific team (organization) or to the general Fan Fund. We will receive all donations designated for the library AND a portion of the general Fan Fund.
The Fan Fund is distributed proportionate to the number of points each team has.
How can you help?
- Donate: Donations designated for the library will be given to us AND we'll get 20 points per $1. You can donate here: www.cfmonroe.org/playoffs or in the donation box at the library's circulation desk.
- Share: Social media posts help spread the word AND we'll get 50 points for every post using our hashtag (#TeamReadMore) and #philanthropyplayoffs
-Buy a ticket to the final event at Pin Seekers in Monroe on October 22. You'll enjoy an evening of axe throwing, bowling, golfing and more AND we'll get 500 points for every ticket. Tickets: HERE
