DALLAS - Today is your chance to support local charities that are doing more with less during the pandemic.
North Texas Giving Day is a big day for local non-profits organizations benefitting everything from children and refugees to adoptable pets.
The fundraising campaign runs for 18 hours and is already underway.
It’s happening online-only this year. But to make it feel more like a party, there will be concerts all day from the Levitt Pavilion in Arlington with local entertainers.
Last year, North Texas Giving Day raised $50 million for hundreds of non-profit groups from arts organizations to service for people with chronic diseases.
