Supporting the Heroic Efforts of Non-Profit Organizations

Wellington, FL – July 1, 2021 – While COVID-19 has kept us apart for the better part of the past year, a local fundraising event made the conscious decision that it was more important than ever to focus on maximizing impact during these unprecedented times.

With the belief that we are #StrongerTogether, the annual Great Charity Challenge presented by Fidelity Investments® (GCC), an exciting show jumping competition that blends equestrian sports and philanthropy, distributed $1.1 million to 49 Palm Beach County non-profit organizations in February, thanks to the generous support of 64 sponsors, donors and partners.

“We can all agree that heroes have been redefined through the pandemic,” commented Anne Caroline Valtin, Executive Director. “Seeing the challenges that local organizations faced, ranging from increased demand for services while facing funding interruptions and increased safety concerns for all, paired with their resilience to serve our most vulnerable neighbors through these unprecedented times, has been nothing short of inspiring. Non-profits, their staff and volunteers are true heroes; we are extremely grateful for their passion, dedication, and service.”
