Wellington- February 1, 2021 – While COVID-19 has tested the resilience of our neighbors and communities, Palm Beach County non-profits have experienced a wave of hope in recent weeks. Paired with a strong showcase of unity and support, the fast-approaching annual Great Charity Challenge presented by Fidelity Investments® (GCC) will distribute over $1 million to 40+ local charities this Saturday, February 6, 2021. In direct response to the unique setting surrounding COVID-19, the event’s 12th edition committed to shifting a majority of its funding priorities towards local non-profits who are directly supporting and assisting the most vulnerable and affected populations in Palm Beach County. With 20 non-profits randomly selected during the month of December, additional organizations were drawn this past week. Organizations who have been pre-selected will virtually meet their paired equestrian teams and sponsors to receive a share of the $1+ million purse. The winning team’s nonprofit will receive $100,000+ while all pre-selected participants are guaranteed a minimum grant of $15,000.
