(COLORADO SPRINGS) — At the Downtown Partnership Annual Breakfast on Friday, Sept. 20, Bonnie Goff, Underline’s Director of Market Development in El Paso County, asked nearly 750 guests to vote for their favorite nonprofit to receive a donation from the company.
“To celebrate all the milestones of the last decade, and as a cheers to the next, we wanted to
bring you all a gift,” Goff said. “But then we decided to give a gift back to the community instead to celebrate the causes and organizations we all care about.”
Guests used a QR code on their tables to vote for one of three nonprofits to share Underline’s $6,000 donation. Early Connections received 43% of the vote, earning $2,574; Art on the Streets received 31%, or $1,854; and We Fortify received 26%, or $1,566.
“Unique giving opportunities, like what Underline created at this event, raise awareness and critical funds to support our work to provide affordable, high-quality early education opportunities for children throughout Colorado Springs,” Liz Denson, President and CEO of Early Connections Learning Centers said.
Art on the Streets Executive Director of Downtown Ventures Michelle Winchell also thanked Underline for demonstrating their commitment to the community with the program.
