This podcast is a visit with Brazos Valley Gives co-chair Julie Porter and WTAW's Bill Oliver.

Representatives of 154 non-profit agencies participating in October’s Brazos Valley Gives event gathered Tuesday to receive additional incentives and prize money.

Co-chair Julie Porter said more than $110,000 dollars was awarded.

That brought the total given to all the non profits serving the seven county region to $926,880 dollars.

Porter says the leadership team will start meeting in January to lay the groundwork for the fourth annual event that will take place October 18, 2022.

Brazos Valley Gives, powered by the Community Foundation of the Brazos Valley, is a one-day online fundraiser for participating non-profits serving the region.
