A November Full of Thanks

November reminds us to pause, reflect, and acknowledge the many hands and hearts that make our work possible. As we celebrate a season centered on gratitude, we’re thankful for each of you who helps nurture generosity across Northwest Arkansas. Together, we’re building a community where compassion is shared, and

thankfulness grows all year long.

Thank You for Celebrating

National Philanthropy Day With Us!

We are so grateful to everyone who joined us for National Philanthropy Day, a beautiful moment to honor the spirit of giving that makes Northwest Arkansas such a special place. Your presence helped celebrate the people and organizations

who lift our community every day.

A heartfelt thank you to our Presenting Sponsor,

The Willard & Pat Walker Foundation, for stewarding a legacy of generosity that continues to shape and strengthen NWA.

We are proud to recognize our Ruby Sponsor, The University of Arkansas Office of University Advancement, whose dedication is vital to our collective success, directly fueling the educational and enrichment initiatives that elevate our community.

We are also deeply appreciative of our Champion, Media, and Event Sponsors, along with our Benefactors, whose

support made this gathering possible.

We hope you enjoy reliving the day through the photo gallery linked below.

BE the CAUSE is the Foundation’s annual, unrestricted fund that supports all four pillars of our Case for Support. BE the CAUSE helps to fund local, national, and international programs including scholarships, leadership development, education and much more.

A portion of every donation that a donor makes goes back to their local chapter to support local programs.
