Hello everyone!

I’m taking part in the BVU's GIVE Program - GIVING FORWARD to raise money for Business Volunteers Unlimited (BVU) Maryland and BVU's GIVE Program. My goal is to beat my peers by being the first to raise $500 dollars, so any help is extremely appreciated.

Business Volunteers Unlimited connects people and businesses with nonprofits that need help. They direct individuals to appropriate volunteer opportunities, and help companies invest in their employees by creating and managing successful corporate volunteer programs and developing civic leaders.

BVU's GIVE Program, the program I'm in, stands for Getting Involved in Volunteer Experiences. The program seeks to raise awareness among the next generation of civic leaders about the growing need for volunteerism and to engage them in the community while providing educational learning seminars to help us develop personally and professionally. Over two years, like-minded professionals come together and learn about pertinent issues facing the community and become exposed to civic leadership opportunities with nonprofits.

I truly do believe this to be a good cause, and hope that so do you. If so, you can donate online with a credit card. All donations are secure and sent directly to Business Volunteers Unlimited Maryland and BVU's GIVE Program by FirstGiving, who will email you a printable record of your donation. Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too! Also feel free to check out the events, and if any interest you, come!
