How you can participate in the Giving Challenge
For any donation given up to $100, the Punta Gorda History Center will receive a 1-1 matching donation from the Patterson Foundation. For example, your gift of $25 (the minimum gift) will become $50. How to Participate:
- DONATE ONLINE to the Giving Challenge from noon May 1 to noon the 2nd. Donations are individual – and can come from a person or business or organization, but each donation must be on a separate, unique credit card. Go to the Giving Challenge homepage: http://www.givingpartnerchallenge.org and search for Punta Gorda History Center. Or go to our website www.puntagordahistorycenter.com and follow the link. The Patterson Foundation will provide a 1:1 match for each online donor’s contribution – up to $100 per donor, per organization.
- VISIT US LIVE. May 1 from noon until 9 p.m. at the Punta Gorda Woman’s Club for Save our History Day or May 2 from 8 a.m. until noon at the Punta GordaHistory Center for our History Trivia Breakfast. There will be food and fun both days.
- ENCOURAGE FRIENDS TO DONATE. Call or email this information to at least 5 friends.
Remember the Giving
Challenge is a community-wide event, and this is a chance for you to support
your Charlotte County charities that are participating. We are partnering with
the Punta Gorda Historical Society. So if you give one gift up to $100 to the
PGHC, you may want to also give the PGHS a gift of up to $100 so that both
organizations receive double the amount you are giving.
If you need any help with your donation, please contact us (941) 916-8800 or (941) 916-3540 and we will help with this. For more information visit or go to https://givingpartnerchallenge.org/
