Clearwater, FL – On Saturday, June 29th 2024 at 11:30am, charities will join together at the Clearwater Community Volunteers (CCV) Center’s Summertime Charity Mixer, to network and learn how to help each other. Refreshments will be served, networking games will be played and there will be a short educational program to benefit the nonprofit representatives in attendance. There is no cost to attend.



A 2022 survey of nonprofits indicated that 41% of nonprofit organizations have difficulties recruiting volunteers, and another reported that 46% of nonprofits in Pinellas County have not met their fundraising goals over the past three years.



“Networking is an important part of running a nonprofit, as it is a strategic tool that can unlock numerous opportunities, from forming partnerships to gaining new ideas, it proves to be beneficial to any kind of charity,” said Tracy Hawkins, manager of the Center.



“At the CCV Center, we are all about serving the nonprofit community,” said Ms. Hawkins. “Given the hardships and struggles they experience, we are happy to help and support them. As Humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard said, ‘A community that pulls together can make a better society for all’”



If you are part of a nonprofit and would like to attend the Summertime Charity Mixer, please contact Tracy at (727) 316-5309 or [email protected].
