Raise the Region returns Wednesday
Raise the Region 2026 begins at 6 p.m. Wednesday.
“Raise the Region is a powerful 30-hour online giving campaign that unites community members in supporting local nonprofits,” the annual event’s website said. “This initiative is designed to highlight and empower the vital work of these organizations, enabling them to address the growing needs of North Central Pennsylvania and create more vibrant communities.”
Organized by the First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania, Raise the Region, online at raisetheregion.org, fosters individual giving through a strategic and unified effort that benefits participating nonprofits.
According to a news release, generous support from Blaise Alexander Family Dealerships, including stretching donations and cash prizes, inspires charitable contributions and demonstrates the transformative impact of investing locally.
“By participating in this focused campaign, nonprofits increase their online presence, raise awareness for their missions, and secure much-needed resources to strengthen communities and thrive throughout the year,” the news release said.
