RANGELY | Colorado Gives Day is Tuesday, Dec. 5, and this year the TANK is working with the Colorado Gives organization to boost our donations. You can help! Here’s the link to the Tank’s Colorado Gives Page: https://www.coloradogives.org/organization/TheTANKCenterforSonicArts Go there, donate, and send the link to others, especially in Colorado. We’ve raised almost $23,000 of our $30,000 goal, so far. Thanks so much to all of you who have donated. Here are three ways to effectively double your donation. Two of the TANK’s biggest fans, Elaine Urie of Rangely, Colorado, and Sandy Brown of Boulder are making their generous donations match challenges, which means they are matching your donations, effectively doubling them. AND Colorado Gives will match any recurring gift made to the campaign. So if you give $20 per month in a recurring gift, Colorado Gives will make it $40.
