Sacramento Republic FC News Release
This Thursday, join thousands of fellow Sacramentans in giving back to the dedicated nonprofits that support our region. Coordinated by the Sacramento Region Community Foundation and sponsored by Republic FC founding partner Western Health Advantage, the annual Big Day of Giving is a 24-hour give-a-thon that encourages local donors to support causes that matter to them and their loved ones.
To help multiply the impact of individual gifts, dozens of local companies and philanthropists provide additional donations through prizes and match programs. This year, Republic FC is sponsoring the "916 Prize." At 9:16 a.m. and 9:16 p.m., two nonprofits will be randomly selected to receive a $500 prize (on top of any funds raised throughout the day).
Since 2013, this generosity-fueled movement has inspired $91 million in gifts for nonprofits in El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, and Yolo counties. Last year, tens of thousands of donors raised a record $13.8 million to support nearly 800 participating organizations.
"The day is coming, Sacramento! The Big Day of Giving is nearly here," said Scott Moak, Republic FC Vice President of Community Investment. "And it isn't just about your donations; it's about uniting all of us together and providing resources to foster a community where everyone can be their best. Please consider making an Indomitable investment into the nonprofit fabric of our community and making a big difference."
To honor Mental Health Month and support Republic FC's club's commitment to bringing awareness to suicide and mental health concerns, the club is encouraging fans and community members to support WellSpace Health's campaign to support its 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline call center - the largest one in Northern California. Donations will be used to cover operating costs for this invaluable resource - in 2022 alone, WellSpace responded to more than 100,000 calls, texts, and chats from individuals in crisis.
The majority of individual donations are between $15 and $50, demonstrating that no matter the size of the contribution, the community can make a big difference when it gives together.
