Resorts World Catskills presents $5,000 donation to support the Community Foundation of Orange and Sullivan during Hudson Valley Gives 2021.
Monticello, N.Y. – Resorts World Catskills (RWC) today announced it was one of dozens of organizations that helped Hudson Valley Gives raise more than $600,000 during its “Give Where You Live” event. The 24-hour fundraising blitz, hosted by the Community Foundation of Orange and Sullivan (CFOS), took place on Wednesday, May 19, 2021, uniting hundreds of charities across seven counties. The donations will help fund critical services like food pantries and aid for the homeless and life-enhancing programs like music, dance, and art programs.
In keeping with the spirit of the day, RWC presented a check for $5,000 to the Orange and Sullivan Covid-19 Response Fund, which CFOS launched to address the immediate and longer-term needs of residents in those counties. RWC also partnered with Hudson Valley Gives as a Platinum Sponsor this year and helped to encourage donations and participation by serving as a location for CFOS staff to broadcast live via Facebook for part of the day.
