(Michigan City, IN) - Horizon Bank has given La Porte County's Unity Foundation a boost for an upcoming fundraiser.
Horizon is donating $30,000 in honor of the Unity Foundation’s 30th anniversary. On September 30, the foundation will hold a 30-hour donation marathon.
Unity Foundation spokesperson Lauren Varga says Horizon’s donation goes into a pot for other donors to match. Their goal is to reach a total of $300,000, and they're already almost there. Varga says over $200,000 has come in. When the Unity Foundation held a similar event for their 25th anniversary, she said it raised $360,000. "With the very generous matching pool from all of our donors like Horizon," Varga said, "we think that will encourage people to give and make it a more successful event to raise more money for the organizations in La Porte County."
The Unity Foundation manages funds and other resources for dozens of nonprofits across La Porte County.
