    Arizona Gives DaySedona News – Even though Arizona Gives Day officially begins April 5, early donations can start on March 15 at AzGives.org and count towards a nonprofit’s fundraising total for the event.  More than 1,000 Arizona nonprofits are expected to participate in the tenth annual Arizona Gives Day, a 24-hour statewide online fundraising event, from noon on Tuesday, April 5 to noon on Wednesday, April 6.

    Beginning Tuesday, March 15, donors can make early donations by visiting the Arizona Gives Day website at AzGives.org and donate immediately by selecting the “Today” button at checkout. Donors also can donate during a specific block of time on Arizona Gives Day to help a nonprofit win a “Power Hour” prize or earn additional funds from the prize pool when donating on April 5 and 6.

    More than $180,000 in prize pool incentives (116 prizes) will be distributed based on certain categories from random drawings during the 24-hour period.

    “So much has happened in the last 12 months that we’re still measuring the impact,” said Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits CEO Kristen Merrifield. “One fact that is certain is that nonprofits are still climbing out of the challenges posed by the pandemic in addition to facing new challenges associated with rising costs. That is why Arizona Gives Day is so important as a means to help fill the financial gaps so they can continue doing great work in communities across the state.”

    The public and businesses also can support and champion their favorite nonprofits by creating their own fundraiser pages. Simply go to the specific organization’s profile page at AzGives.org and click on “Create A Fundraiser” to get started.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
