ABILENE, Texas (KTAB/KRBC) – Abilene Gives rounded out its 12-hour period of fundraising by surpassing not only last year’s numbers, but its $2 million goal!
According to the Community Foundation of Abilene, which organizes the annual Abilene Gives day, the 2022 amount raised of around $1.7 million was passed right around 7:30 Tuesday night. The final tally came in at around 8:15 p.m., totaling $2,077,615 raised for local nonprofits by 3,535 donors.
