Brady School Foundation, Prairie Arts Center and North Platte Catholic Schools Endowment-Trust were the top three money raisers on North Platte Giving Day earlier this month.

Donations and cash prizes to nonprofits from sponsors totaled $102,421 benefiting more than 50 local nonprofit causes during the first-ever North Platte Giving Day, reported Eric Seacrest, Executive Director of Mid-Nebraska Community Foundation.

Mid-Nebraska Community Foundation organized North Platte Giving Day to help local nonprofits that provide important services and depend on community support.

“We are very grateful to many donors, cash prize sponsors, media sponsors, participating nonprofits, and also the donation sites that collected donations,” said Seacrest. “Cash prize sponsors were Great Plains Health, Kwik Stop, U-Save Pharmacy, Pat and Kathleen Keenan, NebraskaLand National Bank, Equitable Bank and First National Bank.”

Cash prizes provided by sponsors were awarded to nonprofits randomly selected from donations during 18 different time periods and to nonprofits with the top three most individual donors of any amount during five different time periods.
