Put Trails on the Map -- Plan to GiveBIG on May 15

Last year, YOU helped WTA raise more than $48,000 from The Seattle Foundation's extraordinary one-day GiveBIG campaign. On a day that the Seattle philanthropic community was urging their supporters to give, WTA's members came out in droves to support and promote our work throughout the day.

This year's GiveBIG challenge will be held on May 15

Hikers: help break giving records again this year

Your past GiveBIG donations helped WTA set new records for trails in 2012. You put trails on the map by making WTA 6th overall for gifts received and 21st in total amount received out of 1,200 nonprofits.

You can take this year's GiveBIG challenge by making a special gift to trails on May 15. It's easy! Just visit WTA's page on The Seattle Foundation website anytime on May 15 to grow your gift for trails. WTA will receive 100% of what you give, plus additional matching funds for a portion of your contribution.

Your donations to WTA matched on May 15

The more you and your fellow hikers contribute, the greater WTA's share of matching funds - and the more we can achieve for trails. On top of everything else, every hour The Seattle Foundation will award a "Golden Ticket" worth $1,000 to the non-profit that is selected by random drawing from all donations made in the last hour. Honor the trails you love by being that donor!

>> Remember to bookmark WTA's page on The Seattle Foundation website, then go online and make a gift between 12am and midnight next Wednesday, May 15 -- and encourage your friends to do the same.
