News and updates are also available on facebook.com/SimplifiedGiving or on Twitter #ETGivingDay.\n\n \n\nJenny Wilson\, Executive Director of the United Way of Lamar County explains\, "this is an excellent opportunity for Lamar County residents to maximize their charitable donations.  Since prize donations will be given out to the participating nonprofits\, a donation of $20 may actual win your favorite nonprofit a $250\, $500 or $1000 prize."  She adds\, "no donation is too small and since we don't  normally have the capability to accept credit card donations\, we are excited that our donors can give online using a credit card at EastTexasGivingDay.org"\n\n \n\nThe six local organizations will be at the corner of Collegiate Drive and Lamar Avenue on Tuesday\, April 24th from 11am - 2pm if you would like to make a donation in person or need help accessing the site.
