Olivia’s House had another great year participating in Give Local York 2025! We surpassed our goal by raising over $50,000 to benefit the programs and services of Olivia’s House. THANK YOU!!! Among the 319 participating organizations, Olivia’s House was in the top twenty on the Leaderboard, and that is testament to our community and their faith in our mission. Olivia’s House has participated in Give Local York since its inauguration seven years ago and we are continually blown away by the support of our local community (and beyond!). Maybe next year we will make it to the top ten!
Thank you to our Matching Sponsors for helping to increase each dollar donated during the 24-hour Day of Giving. A big thank you to everyone who donated, and to all of our amazing Champions who recruited friends and family to support our mission. We are happy to extend a congratulations to our Top Fundraising Champion Whitney Bellomo! Her name will now be engraved on the coveted trophy.
The staff is already preparing for Give Local York 2026, so if you would like to help us achieve our goal of securing a spot in the top ten organizations receiving support, let us help get you started! Please email our Development Director or call 717-699-1133.
Option 1: Donate on the day of Give Local York
You can simply make a donation to Olivia’s House via our Give Local York website starting on April 30th at 9pm. Our Matching Sponsors will help to increase any donations Olivia’s House receives at the end of the 24-hour fundraising event. In addition, a percentage of every dollar raised will be matched by the stretch pool that has been created by Give Local York. The stretch pool makes sure that your donation has strength because it is money gifted to the event from area businesses, designed to “bolster” your gift! We hope you will ask your friends and family to log on to the Give Local York website to follow your lead and donate to Olivia’s House too!
Option 2: Become an Olivia's House Champion.
If you are “social media savvy,” we would love for you to consider becoming a Champion for Olivia’s House by using your tech skills to support our mission. Starting on April 30th at 9pm, using your social media contacts, drive everyone you know to your Champion page to give! It is easy to create your page and, most importantly, you get to share your loved one and our mission. It is quick, easy, and fun to do!
As an Olivia’s House Champion you have an opportunity to hoist our famous Olivian Cup! If you are the highest earner on the day of the big give, your name will be permanently engraved on the Olivian Cups, which hold a special place at both grief centers. In 2025, our Olivia’s House Champion was Whitney Bellomo, who raised $3,875.
