MIDLAND, Texas — During a 24-hour coordinated donation drive Tuesday, Permian Basin Gives raised over $1 million for local nonprofit organizations. Over 2,000 donors contributed to help them reach that total.
The drive is a joint effort between a significant list of organizations, including Be the Change, Boys and Girls Clubs of the Permian Basin and Children's Miracle Network, just to name a few.
NewsWest 9 partnered with Basin PBS for a telethon aimed at driving donations.
While the total did not cover their overall goal, which was over $2 million, event coordinators thanked all who contributed and reminded people that these nonprofits appreciate any help all year long.
