The Great Give

At PropTalk, we are always happy when we can give back to the community. Beginning at 6 p.m. this evening, through The Great Give you can give back to every non-profit in Anne Arundel County through the Community Foundation of Anne Arundel County's website.   The Great Give is a 24-hour online fundraising event that raised over $600,000 in 2013. There are 17 maritime-related non-profits in Anne Arundel County that are looking for your help:

• Annapolis Community Boating

• Annapolis Rowing Club
• Box of Rain Foundation
• Camp Letts YMCA

Jim Clark, the founder of Netscape, had a great idea in 2013 when he donated $800,000 to Sail to Prevail, The National Disabled Sailing Program in Newport, RI. This donation was an equal amount to his annual racing budget for his J-Boat, Hanuman. If each of us donated an amount equal to our "fun" budget, whatever that may be, we could make a HUGE difference throughout Anne Arundel County.
