The giving continued through Tuesday evening. When those donors completed their gifts, the community\u2019s stunning total rose to more than $10.9 million!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10085 alignleft\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/542A5125-S.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\"><\/p>\n<p>In eight days since 2012, when the Extraordinary Give was first launched by the Lancaster County Community Foundation, our community has joyfully given over $53 million.<\/p>\n<p>Our team is proud to be part of a community that cares so much and generously gives like no other. The Extraordinary Give brings our unique and diverse community together to celebrate our collective generosity and build on the possibilities for our future. &nbsp;This year, we again showed the world how generous our community can be.&nbsp; We joined together with tens of thousands of our neighbors and friends to give a little extra.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At the Community Foundation, we invite all those whose generosity was on display during Extraordinary Give to learn more about our work and how we can help your generosity live on<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lancfound.org\/giving\/\"> Forever in Lancaster.<\/a> As we celebrate this season of both thanks and giving, we\u2019re thankful that we live in the most generous community in the world.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to learn more about the technology challenges, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.extragive.org\/info\/faq\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-10090 aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/542A5581-S.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"555\" height=\"371\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thank you for making the 2019 Extraordinary Give the largest single day of on-line giving in Lancaster County history!
