Show Your Love for Hiking: GiveBIG to Trails on May 6

Take your impact for trails to new heights during this year's GiveBIG!

Last year, YOU helped WTA raise more than an astounding $55,000 from The Seattle Foundation's extraordinary one-day GiveBIG campaign. On a day that the Seattle philanthropic community was urging their supporters to give, WTA's members came out in droves to support and promote our work -- and the work of many great organizations -- throughout the day.

This year's GiveBIG challenge will be held tomorrow, on Tuesday, May 6. If you've been thinking about giving back to trails, this is the time, because your gift will go farther.

Hikers: help break giving records again this year

Your past GiveBIG donations helped WTA set new records for trails in 2013. You put trails on the map by making WTA 7th overall for gifts received and 27th (out of 1,200 nonprofits) in total amount received.

You can take this year's GiveBIG challenge even farther by making a special gift to trails on May 6. It's easy! Just visit WTA's page on The Seattle Foundation website anytime on May 6 to grow your gift for trails. WTA will receive 100 percent of what you give, plus additional matching funds for a portion of your contribution.

Your donations to WTA matched on May 6

The more you and your fellow hikers contribute, the greater WTA's share of matching funds -- and the more we can achieve for trails.

On top of everything else, every hour The Seattle Foundation will award a "Golden Ticket" worth $1,000 to the non-profit that is selected by random drawing from all donations made in the last hour. Honor the trails you love by being that donor!

>> Remember to bookmark WTA's page on The Seattle Foundation website, then go online and make a gift between 12 a.m. and midnight on Tuesday, May 6 -- and encourage your friends to do the same.
