We can’t keep Camelback’s mission alive without your generosity. Join us on August 28th, 2022 for #Give828, a national day of giving focused on supporting Black-led and Black-benefiting organizations as part of Black Philanthropy Month. Give 828 is the only day of giving focused explicitly on highlighting the importance of Black-led nonprofit organizations, which receive only 2% of institutional philanthropy dollars from foundations.

Give 828 takes place during Black Philanthropy Month and commemorates multiple critical historical landmarks in Black American’s march toward freedom:

  • August 28, 1955: 14-year-old Emmett Till was brutally murdered by three white men, which became a “flashpoint in the civil rights movement.”
  • August 28, 1963: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his iconic “I Have A Dream” speech in Washington, D.C.
  • August 28, 2005: Hurricane Katrina made landfall in Louisiana. The storm, which devastated New Orleans, inordinately impacted many of the city’s Black residents.
  • August 28, 2008: Then-Senator Barack Obama accepted the Democratic nomination for president, becoming the first Black man ever to win the nomination and bid for the presidency.

Give 828 seeks to galvanize support for organizations like Camelback working to empower Black communities in areas such as education and mentoring, economic empowerment, policy advocacy, health and wellness, and much more. Camelback’s #Give828 campaign will run from August 28-31. However, you can help us build momentum by making a donation today!
