We wish our team could be together to send you a happy holiday greeting. We wish we could give you a cheerful "Happy holidays!" in person, on the street, at one of the countless extraordinary local businesses, or at a holiday party. And we look forward to being able to do all of that and more soon. But until then, we hope this digital greeting will do the trick!

He implored the business community to meet this moment by thinking local this holiday season. We couldn’t agree more!
Since physical events are more difficult this year, we immediately got to work dreaming up a new way for folks across the community to get excited about the Extraordinary Give. We're pretty excited about the results:
