The Challenge provided one local organization per month a one-month media package valued at more than $10,000 and a $2,500 challenge gift. The gift was a dollar-for-dollar match, up to $2,500. Through the Challenge the community gave $87,369 to nine different organizations to secure a match of $2,500 for each organization. In total, $109,872.87 has been raised to help local organizations.
“Our goal at Envista is to lead, inspire and make an impact with our giving,” said Tara Dimick, Chief Business Development Officer of Envista. “It has been exciting to see the community step up to the challenge each month and provide support to the incredible organizations that we had the opportunity and privilege to partner with in 2019.”
