Give It Up Challenge

Give It Up Title

Are you up for the challenge?

Lent is a 40-day period of fasting and sacrifice in preparation for Easter (March 2 - April 14). Keeping with the spirit, join us in giving it up for the entirety of the Lenten season, or even just for a limited time. 

What is IT exactly?

It can be anything: your morning drive-thru latte, your weekly trip to the barber, your regular take-out run, whatever impacts you. 

Other ideas: manicures, pedicures, facials, massages, happy hours, soda, chocolate, alcohol.

Match

Small sacrifice, large impact.

Donate the value of your Lenten sacrifice to your United Way and our friends at God's Grace Fund will match it up to $10,000! 

God’s Grace Fund is a faith-based donor-advised fund created anonymously for charitable purposes. United Way of Washington County was chosen as the recipient of this fundraiser due to our broad reach and impact across a variety of sectors including financial stability, health, education, and basic needs. Donations from this fundraiser will be used to further expand this impact to the residents of Washington County, particularly those struggling to make ends meet though actively employed (ALICE).

How to participate:

  1. Select your sacrifice. Identify an item or activity to part with during Lent. Then, calculate the value of the sacrifice. For example, sacrificing a $5 latte every day during Lent would translate to a $200.00 donation that would be matched and multiplied by God's Grace Fund for a total contribution of $400.00
  2. Submit your donation. Select "Give It Up Challenge" from the drop down list HERE. 
  3. Share! Snap a picture of what you'll be sacrificing for the length of time you'll be giving it up. Post it on Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn using the hashtag #GiveItUpForUWWC. Get creative! Pictures, videos, dances are welcome!
