Organizers aim for another record-breaking year for Abilene Gives

The Community Foundation of Abilene is just days away from the biggest event of the year.

Last year the organizations that raised the most were All Kind Animal Initiative, Youth Voice and Camp Able of Buffalo Gap.

Over the 12-hour day of philanthropy Abilene Gives raised $2.4 million, benefitting more than 170 local non-profits. This year organizers hope to break that record.

KACU reporters Baylie Simon, Leslie Carrigan and Ashley Henderson spoke with some non-profits hoping donors will show up with big support on May 6th.
