North Texas Giving Day is an annual, one-day fundraising event that has pumped over $34 million into the local nonprofit community since 2009. On Thursday, September 18, all gifts of $25 and above will leverage additional funds from a pool of $1.7 million of bonus and prize funds.

Not only will your donation go further on September 18, but Communities Foundation of Texas will host a lunchtime celebration that will include donation stations, nonprofit performers, food trucks and children's volunteer activities.

Among the entertainment will be Anita N. Martinez Ballet Folklorico, Dallas Children's Theater, Dallas Black Dance Theatre, Dallas Zoo, Equest ponies, Junior Players, Lone Star Wind Orchestra, Shakespeare Dallas and SPCA of Texas.
