(Annual recognition)...National Philanthropy Day.

It is November 19. The Imperial Valley Community Foundation hosts an annual awards ceremony. The ceremony recognizes local philanthropists. This year is no different, with one exception. Because of the current pandemic, it will be a virtual ceremony. The purpose is to show appreciation to the people, businesses, and organizations that dedicate themselves to helping others and improving the quality of life in the Imperial Valley. The deadline to nominate a person, business or organization has been extended to November 6th.
