Thank you to our entire community, our anonymous matching gift donors, and staff for all your generous support on #GivingTuesday. We were able to raise $670 for our Annual Fund and because of matching donors it has double the impact of $1340! While this was shy of our $2500 goal, we were very happy with the response since this was our very first Giving Tuesday for the Friends! Thank you again for supporting our mission. #LaurelHill #WestLaurelHill

Thank you, thank you for contributing today to #GivingTuesday. The work day is over but Giving Tuesday continues until midnight tonight. Will you help us reach our goal of $2500? Donate at https://thelaurelhillcemetery.org/support/annual-fund. We will send an update on final numbers tomorrow. #LaurelHill #WestLaurelHill #PhillySupportsPhilly

Thank you so much for your continued support today. We doubled donations since noon! We are up to $620 which is 25% of our #GivingTuesday goal!
