Nonprofits hurt by the COVID-19 pandemic can receive a stronger helping hand for the rest of the month from the team of the United Way of the Upper Ohio Valley and Bordas & Bordas.
The two organizations are running their "Match Madness" fundraising campaign in March. The promotion matches community donations dollar for dollar for up to $15,000
"Nonprofits are seeing a large decrease in donations this year due to unemployment, restrictions and canceled fundraising events," said Jessica Rine, executive director, United Way of the Upper Ohio Valley. "This match from our friends at Bordas & Bordas can make up for a significant portion of that loss. We are grateful for the partnership."
The United Way funds more than 40 programs that support community members in Brooke, Ohio, Marshall, Wetzel, Tyler and Belmont counties. The group also is at the forefront of advocating for nonprofit organizations in the Ohio Valley, promoting giving and encouraging volunteerism.
"Bordas & Bordas is proud to partner with the United Way of the Upper Ohio Valley for Match Madness," said Jamie Bordas, managing partner of Bordas & Bordas. "Giving back to our community is very important and we look forward to matching the donations made throughout the month."
Rine said the promotion is about halfway toward its goal and hoping for a strong home stretch. Donations made in the month of March 2021 made through UnitedWayUOV.org, our PayPal account or mailed to 1307 Chapline St. Wheeling, WV, 26003 will be a part of Match Madness.
