The Savannah Jaycees are going to present almost $2,000 to 11 local nonprofit organizations on Tuesday, Sept. 6 at 6 p.m. at the Savannah Tap House.

All proceeds were raised at the Savannah Jaycees’ Third Annual Charity Date Night Auction, where participants chose local charities to donate 50 percent of their winnings.

The charities and donations are listed below:

The Savannah Tiny House Project: $250

Leukemia & Lymphoma Society: $150

Palmetto Animal League: $100

Art Rise Savannah: $325

Economic Opportunity Authority: $175

Rape Crisis Center: $100

Alzheimer’s Association: $200

Lowcountry Down Syndrome Society: $100

Heads Up Guidance Services: $160

One Love Animal Rescue: $225

Humane Society of Greater Savannah: $125

The check presentation will take place during the regularly scheduled After-Hours Mixer for the Savannah Jaycees. These bi-monthly meetups are a way Savannah Jaycees to introduce themselves to other young professionals in an effort to make business connections and discover new ways to positively impact the Hostess City.

“Our mission is to inspire leadership growth through community involvement,” said Cheryl Lawrence, Savannah Jaycees President. “These funds were raised at a fun and creative event, but ultimately, this donation is another example of the commitment our group has on giving back to the people of Savannah.”
