“The pandemic has changed so much, but it can’t change Kentucky’s giving spirit,” said Danielle Clore, CEO of Kentucky Nonprofit Network, the state association of charities and host of the event. “Kentuckians are asked to rally with us for a powerful day of action to support the causes that help keep our communities thriving and recovering. Nonprofits need support now and every amount helps,” added Clore.
