Give back Tahoe!
By Tim Hauserman
The end of the year holidays are prime time for helping the worthy non-profit organizations that make North Lake Tahoe a wonderful place. So the folks at the Truckee Tahoe Community Foundation and The Sierra Sun developed the Give Back Tahoe concept. It’s a guide which provides potential donors information on what the charities do, and how your dollars would be put to use. The campaign is focused on November 21st to December 31st, but I’m pretty sure any of the organizations would appreciate your help all year round. As of this writing, over $55,000 has been raised during the campaign. The campaign slogan is simple: “We love Tahoe. You love Tahoe. Together we can make a collective impact.”
