Host a Hudson Gives Party
Create excitement (and maybe some healthy competition) among your friends to support your fundraising campaign by hosting a Hudson Gives celebration! Check the leaderboards, watch the total money raised grow and invite your friends to be a part of the live action on May 8th, 2025.
If you are planning an event during Hudson Gives, please let us know! To count towards your giving day totals, it must be registered. Make sure that the Hudson Gives logo is on all of your materials and collateral.
Tips

- Get Social! Take pictures of the party to post on your Facebook page or to tweet to your followers. Make sure to include a link to your free agent fundraising page in all of your posts and tweets! #HudsonGives
