What is the Cheyenne Day of Giving?

We are a non-profit organization, led by Cheyenne congregations and supported by local business and community groups. Our focus is on providing an opportunity for people in the Cheyenne area to come together in an effort to help the sick and the economically disadvantaged.

When is the Cheyenne Day of Giving?

The 19th Annual Cheyenne Day of Giving will be held on May 10, 2024. While we hold our event annually, we fundraise all year to assist our agencies by purchasing supplies for them throughout the year.

Whispering Chase has been a stalwart supporter of Day of Giving for many years. Not only do they hold a yearly fundraiser to encourage their residents to donate to Day of Giving, but they also open their raffle and bake sales to the public. We also have the privilege of displaying one of our Day of Giving banners on their property, and they volunteer to be a drop-off point so residents can drop off items for Whispering Chase to bring out to us at our yearly event on the 2nd Friday in May. Thank you, Whispering Chase, for helping us reach out to area residents in need!
