<p class="MsoNormal">Back when it all started, Fred came to a group that I was apart of involving healthcare professionals. He stated that Gotham had a 501 3( C ) that we may want to consider using. The question that kept pounding in my head, to my two co-captains
selected to lead the way, was how do you choose a charity among many worthy? It brought about a brainstorm that perhaps we needed to think bigger. We needed to come up with a way to have all charities benefit. In that same conversation, the idea of choosing
charities out of a hat was born. It included a method to keep it very simple. Armed with the plan, it was brought to the powers to be and about 6 months later adopted.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In 2009 The Gotham Giving campaign was launched. Since that time, if I have calculated right, approximately $220,000 has been raised to benefit approximately 45-50 charities with an average of 3k-5k per charity. Morphing the Giving Campaign
into a beloved signature of Gotham. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">From my perspective, when a legacy gets created that has the power to lift not only the life of someone today, but the people associated to them from one generation to the next, that is a powerful legacy with a definition equated to being
heroic. Thank you Gotham for keeping it alive and showing the \u201cHero\u201d spirit that Gotham is known for.

<br>
<br>
It is our pleasure to help the Gotham Foundation Grant initiative come across the goal line.
<br>
<br>
When I say goal, I mean Hans Hanson's vision of our exceeding last year's total, ie, $23,333 (7 grants of $3,333). As of the moment, we are at the $18,000 mark with more than a ways to go before our 12/6 Holiday Party when we announce this year's grants.
<br>
<br>
Please make a tax deductible donation at <a href="https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/J9nrC1w9P8t62W6vIGqYnl?domain=gothamfoundation.org" target="_blank">
www.Gothamfoundation.org</a> to help us reach our goal and don't forget to designate a worthy 501 c 3 charity which could be picked out of the hat by Gotham accountant Michael Garibaldi (under the careful scrutiny of Lisa Waterman) as a grant recipient<br>
<br>
Thank you all! This is one of the best things we do :)<br>
<br>
PS: You have to be in it to win it!<br>
