Episode 5 | Two Community Catalysts Discuss San Diego Gives 2022 and Plans For 2023

In this episode of "Live Local, Give Local" listeners enjoy a great conversation between two of the great community catalysts who made San Diego Gives a reality! Dave Mason, the Host, sits down with those very fine humans, Lauren Welch, the Director of San Diego Gives, and David Drazenovich, the Director of Development for Palomar Family Counseling Service. We learn all about the big bang, pandemic-fueled moment when "Fundraising Fridays" evolved into San Diego Gives. And what an evolution it has been! From 0 to 327 non-profit participants in the second year, over $1 million dollars raised and in excess of 1,000 NEW donors compared to 2021. Well done, we say, well done! Lauren, David and Dave also discuss some of the unexpected benefits of the 2022 campaign - one of which is this podcast, providing a weekly opportunity to celebrate the community and the many incredible non-profits who are San Diego Gives! It was quite a second year...and year three will be even better! Thank you for listening and your support! Don't miss an episode, so be sure to subscribe to the show on your favorite listening app!
