On Saturday, May 12, Charity Works hosted the 18th Annual Monopoly Night, where Dimmitt was one of many sponsors for the event.
Monopoly Night is the major annual fund-raising event including auctions and prizes to benefit Charity Works, Inc that brings people together to experience a live monopoly game with a life-size jail. Dimmitt worked with Malios to auction off a chauffeured evening in a Rolls-Royce or Bentley, along with a gift card to dinner. It was an evening to remember!
Charity Works has been around since 1996 and is headquartered in Clearwater, Florida. They have been active in numerous philanthropic activities, including fund-raising events benefiting thousands of disadvantaged and underprivileged children and adults.
Their mission is to “Help Those Who Help Others.” They promote charitable giving and aid tax-exempt organizations by assisting them in managing their funds more effectively when used to acquire needed resources from others. In other words, they use their network to help other nonprofits get the best deals on products and services to help their organizations.
Their overall goal is to help those in need as well as assist their volunteers. They have a CAN (Charitable Alliance Network), which directly benefits nonprofits by providing the following purchasing advisory services:
- Matching needs with product specifications/service requirements
- Locating qualified vendors/suppliers that can provide specialized pricing
- Securing the best pricing possible on requested merchandise/services to meet budgetary requirements
- Negotiating contract terms between donors, vendors and nonprofits
- Purchasing and logistics consultation and support assistance
- Providing administrative support services in all areas of nonprofit operation.
This year, over $120,000 was raised, and Dimmitt is proud to have been part of the event!
