Looking for the 2020 Festival of Giving?
It’s gone virtual! Join us on October 24th in celebration of “Make a Difference” day. Details here…
Join DGT™ in our celebration of kindness and generosity!
Our Festival of Giving is a one-of-a-kind event promoting kindness, service projects, and community collaboration
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED IN THIS EXCITING EVENT!
Check out the big-hearted impact we made by doing good together. Come back and visit us for more kindness and generosity next year! https://www.doinggoodtogether.org/dgt-events/festival-of-giving-2019
DGT's new one-of-a-kind community festival will bring together a wide range of Twin Cities families to celebrate kindness and generosity!
We are collaborating with a variety of local organizations to offer fun activities focused on “giving back.”
Rain or shine, join us at Nicollet Island Pavilion (an indoor venue) from noon to 4pm.
What a wonderful opportunity to put kindness into action! RSVP your attendance on the event tab of our DGT-Twin Cities Facebook page. Be sure to follow these hashtags on social media too: #FestivalOfGiving #DGTfestival #ShareKindness
Activities will include:
