A special and unique opportunity to celebrate and recognize individuals in our local AFP South Sound community that are doing exemplary work to help our community be the best it can be.

The goal of our National Philanthropy Day celebration is to highlight the meaningful work of individuals in our region and to shine a light on those who are leading by example in our community.
